Marshall, Ann E. and Pardue, Diana F., Of Gods and Mortal Men: T.C. Cannon, Museum of New Mexico Press, Santa Fe, NM, 2017, p. 54, fig. 4.8, another example illustrated.
"Waiting for the Bus (Anadarko Princess)," was Cannon's first lithograph produced in partnership with the prestigious Tamarind Institute. "Published in part to benefit the Santa Fe Opera, the composition is simple and straightforward, but the image is extremely complex due to his technical research and execution with lithographic crayons, pencils and washes of liquid tusche. While I recall his original title had a date reference, the haunting image of the beautifully dressed but disconsolate princess returning from the annual Anadarko fair leaves a lingering mystery as to her identity." Rettig, David, "Witness to Genius," from Marshall and Pardue, p. 74.
