[Pair of Photographs Featuring Groups of Native Americans]

[N.p., 1900. About very good.. Two silver gelatin photographs, each 4.25 x 6.5 inches, on mounts measuring 8 x 9.75 inches. Moderate foxing to mounts, some surface wear, spotting, and silvering to images. A wonderful pair of original photographs capturing two different groups of Native Americans in traditional dress. The first image features nine Native Americans, including men, women, and one young girl. The second captures seven men and women. All of the subjects in each picture stare directly into the camera. The images are not captioned in the negative by the photographer, but the subjects are clearly Plains Indians or perhaps from the southwest, given their attire. The images offer an excellent opportunity for further research to identify the subjects and their tribal affiliation. The two photographs do have the feel of picturing members of the same tribe.
