الرسومات الفنية للهنود الحمر
Explanation:
Ledger Art is a term for Plains Indian narrative drawing or painting on paper or cloth. Ledger art was primarily from the 1860s to the 1930s, but also continuing into the present. The term comes from the accounting ledger books that were a common source for paper for Plains Indians during the late 19th century.

Explanation:
Ledger Drawings – Then and Now
Explore these vivid compositions created by Plains Indians
using ledger books furnished by European colonists and military personnel.


Pictographic images appear in many forms throughout Native American art. Nowhere are they more compelling than in ledger drawings, those vivid compositions created by Plains Indians using ledger books furnished by European colonists and military personnel. Many of the ledger books were carefully preserved by people who realized their historic importance, but today their artistic value is recognized as well.
