In 1972, F. H. Tutt, an art dealer from San Clemente, California, organized the printing of limited-numbered sets of five of Tahoma’s paintings that he had commissioned in 1952. He packaged them in a hardback folio and included a page explaining the portfolio.
In 1973, Tuff described the edition as follows:
…a Delux Portfolio of reproductions of the five paintings and a cover story in a beautiful silver and turquoise hard cover jacket…
The five prints were the personal property of the Tuffs and had been displayed only in their home since they purchased them in 1952. The five are The Last Jump, a warrior on a horse frightened by a skunk; A Sign of Spring, a stag standing on a rock protecting fawns sleeping underneath; Fighting Over Prey, a cougar and bear with a downed deer; and two Quincy Tahoma (1917-1956) Water Edge stallions with manes flying—King of the Stallions and The Runaway Stallion.
The Diné (Navajo) portfolio was issued in a limited edition of 1000 copies. This pristine edition is #269 of 1000.
