1901-Dated. Photograph Portrait of Chief “Co-U-Wa or Turtle Dove” (identified in the Photo image itself) Wearing his Silver Indian Peace Medal. Choice Extremely Fine.
This original Photograph measures 5.5” x 4” is in black and white, still on its original 8.75” x 6.75” gray-black mount. Full-fame Portrait Photo of the Chief who appears to be of mature years, wearing a wide brimmed hat with a single large five pointed Star, western “modern” style buttoned jacket and proudly wearing his round Silver Indian Peace Medal with loop attached at top as a prominent, noble decoration. This medal does lack enough significant detail to exactly attribute to the specific President. Across from his written name is also a notation within the photo itself, “Copyright, Pioneer Roll Paper Co.” at the bottom right. A rare turn-of-the-century period image. |
