“The Ceremony of the Scalps” by Frederic Remington in Collier’s Magazine, June 13, 1908.
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, for which he was paid the hefty sum of $1,000.00 each (equivalent to $34,000.00 in today's money).
