He didn't see Ash's hand unsheath the knife and hurl it in one smooth gesture.” Third: “Trapped on open ground with only a dead man and a dead horse for company, Dan Gentry at last faced the man who had ruined him.” |
| Condition | First two in very good condition… third subject has had the background color fade almost completely away… based on the condition of the others, the background in the third must have been of a very fugitive pigment. One could, of course, have the color reintroduced. Framed to match one another |
