"Western Illustration" by De Cost Smith is a body of work by the American artist and author Edwin De Cost Smith (1864–1933), commonly known as De Cost Smith. Smith, who was known for his dedication to accurately depicting Native American life and culture, created a series of illustrations that captured the essence of the American West during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His illustrations often featured Native Americans, their rituals, and daily activities, as well as the landscapes of the Western frontier.

De Cost Smith's illustrations were informed by his extensive travels and interactions with various Native American tribes, including the Seneca, Apache, Hopi, and Zuni, among others. His commitment to authenticity and respect for his subjects set his work apart from many of his contemporaries, who often relied on stereotypes and sensationalism. Smith's illustrations were characterized by their attention to detail, use of color, and ability to convey the humanity of his subjects.

Smith's work in illustration was part of a broader movement of artists and writers who sought to document and preserve the cultures of the American West as the United States underwent rapid expansion and change. His illustrations were not only artistic expressions but also historical records that contributed to the understanding of Native American societies and the complex history of the West.

"Western Illustration" by De Cost Smith is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural and historical importance. The illustrations serve as a visual narrative of a time and place that was undergoing transformation, offering insights into the lives of the people who lived during this pivotal era in American history.
