About

A deeply evocative pair of 19th-century Native American photographic portraits, preserved as found. The two original photographs depict an unidentified Native American adult and child in traditional dress. Each portrait is mounted on faded red paper against a dark gray board, with a small tied ribbon, tassel, and blue bead adding an intimate, handmade detail to the composition. Offered in its original presentation, the piece has the quiet character of an object that has traveled through time intact. The aged photographs, worn mount, and naturally distressed black frame are integral to its presence and history. The identities and tribal affiliations of the subjects are unknown. Their portraits remain striking: personal, dignified, and beautifully preserved within this unusual
