c. 1870 Indian Wars Era, Rare Tintype Photograph of a Native American Indian Army Scout seated together with his Family, in a Doubled Gilt-Framed Holder, Extremely Fine.
A rare 1/6th plate Tintype of a Native American family, featuring a squaw holding her young child and most importantly is seated next to her husband, dressed as an Indian Scout for the Army. He is shown wearing a Military coat, kepi, and animal skin boots, seen with exceptional clarity and contrast. Housed in a fully intact period gold-gilt double frame with a well-preserved red felt interior, and intact working hinge and lock. The outer covers are lightly worn and the image is a bit dark yet sharp. An exceptional item of Western military, and Native American Indian history. |
