Yankton Agency

A sketch by sculptor and artist Solon H. Borglum documenting the Yankton Agency in South Dakota. Borglum captures a landscape study with architectural structures and figures rendered in pen and ink, using cross-hatching and linear perspective typical of late 19th-century field documentation. The annotation and signature indicate this work served as visual record—part of the observational tradition that preceded formalized comic strip narrative but shared its commitment to sequential visual storytelling and human subjects within defined spaces.
