| Red Cloud encampment |
in 1873 two European-born illustrators and painters - Paul Frenzeny and Jules Tavernier - took a job of illustrating America from the East Coast to the West, working for the Harper's Magazine.
Tavernier even traveled to Red Cloud (named after the famous Oglala Lakota leader and goverment chief) Agency in Nebraska ( in fact he traveled there with military escort from Fort Robinson, a military post next to Red Cloud Agency, home to many thousands of the Lakotas, Cheyenne and Arapahoes. There Tavernier attended the annual Sun Dance ceremony, drew his vision of the ceremony and later on it was reproduced in Harper's in 1875(see below)
