Historical Antique Vintage Photos Photography Native Americans
NATIVE AMERICAN SIOUX INDIAN ENCAMPMENT
OVERSIZED CABINET CARD PHOTO
Ca1890
Very rare and original, ca1890 Oversize Card Mount Photograph of a Native American Sioux Indian Camp. This fantastic, period Card Mount Photograph measures approx. 7” by 5” and is mounted on its original Card Mount (overall size is 9” by 7"). This Image pictures two Sioux Tepees and a canvas tent. There are a number of Sioux women seen in the Photograph doing various chores in the camp. * See enlargeable images above and below
The Image is identified with a later pencil description on the reverse that reads only “Sioux encampment 1890’s” and the silver gelatin photo and the style of the card mount lead us to date the Image to the late 19th century.
This rare and wonderful, ca1890s Oversize Cabinet Card Photograph is in very good condition. The Photograph exhibits sharp focus, strong contrast and rich tonality. The Image is generally clean and crisp while the card mount is soiled and slightly curved along the central, horizontal axis. A very rare and original, ca1890s Oversize Card Mount Photograph of a Native American Sioux Indian Camp and a fantastic addition to any Native American Photograph collection!!
