This Deer Dreamer is a direct copy of a Walter Bone Shirt Drawing at the University of Montana Mansfield Library with only variations in color choice. The image of the original drawing is in the Walter Bone Shirt Ledger - Mansfield Library, plate 20.
According to Mike Cowdrey,* this set of Walter Bone Shirt drawings were acquired by Lt. John S. Parke at the Rosebud Reservation in 1890-1891, so the complier of this autograph album must have seen them before that date.
