• Lot Description

  Full-length albumen CDV studio portrait of two figures. Omaha: Jackson Bro's, ca 1867-1870. Photographer's inscription to mount verso alongside period ink inscription reading "Winnibago." Modern pencil inscription reads: "Lone Bull / Scatter. / Worked in Butler / shooting art." 

   

  The Jackson Brothers was the photographic enterprise formed in 1867 by renowned photographer William Henry Jackson (1843-1942) and his brother Edward. During this era of his career, before he received he was commissioned by the Union Pacific Railroad, Jackson would act "as a missionary to the Indians" in the Omaha region, taking portraits of the Osage, Otoe, Pawnee, Winnebago, and Omaha people.

   

  The portrait here captures two young Winnebago men wearing a combination of Anglo-American clothes and Winnebago accessories. Both figures wear hide moccasins, an assortment of beaded necklaces, and the standing figure wears a single dark feather in their hair. A handsome portrait. 

   

  William Henry Blackmore was a British financier and  an avid collector of artifacts, objects, and photographs related to Native Americans.  Much of his collection, including a copy of this same view, is now held in the British Museum (Am, A9.97, William Blackmore Coll. Album 9).
