Lemaitre was particularly well received for his genre depictions, figure studies & landscapes.

Such is the case with this fine engraving entitled, "Canada: Indiens Chassant Le Bisont" (Indians Hunting Buffalo) which originates from a large project examining native peoples of the world. Canadian Aboriginal tribes were thoroughly dealt with and A. F. Lemaitre engraved twelve plates upon this subject. "Indiens Chassant Le Bisont" is the 8th plate in this series. These early portrayals are now very scarce and are much in demand for their historical and cultural importance.
