“Evening on a Canadian Lake” by Frederic Remington. Centerfold in “Collier’s – The National Weekly,” Vol. 34, No. 25 (March 18, 1905). Special tribute issue to Remington.

Given the huge popularity of Frederic Remington's western artwork with the public, Collier's magazine began purchasing the publishing rights to Remington's work in 1901. Several years later, Collier's signed a multi-year contract with Remington to publish his works as covers, two-page centerfolds and one-page frontispieces in Collier's magazine. Collier's published Remington's images in the magazine about once a month.

 

As Collier's had the publishing copyrights to Remington's work, it exploited those rights by creating special print portfolios of Remington's paintings that it sold to its magazine subscribers. The portfolios were heavily advertised in Collier's magazine.
