Blackfeet Photo Fantastic hand-colored photograph of a Blackfoot family moving camp. The photograph is signed in the lower left "A. Nichol, 1921", but it is thought that the signature is that of the colorist. The photographer was probably Henry Pollard, and the photograph probably was taken around 1900, possibly in Northern Montana or in Canada. In large format, the composition consists of a man and woman on horseback, with the woman in the foreground in her beaded dress. She has a travois on her horse, which is a paint horse. A little girl peeks from behind the mother's horse. As if that's not enough, a foal is trailing its mother, and a dog also completes the family. The horse gear that is visible is simply amazing - the man's mount has a red stroud, beaded bridle and large red stroud beaded martingale. The woman's mount has a large red stroud breastcollar and there are saddle bags with matching red stroud and beadwork on her horse. A beaded crupper is behind her saddle. A herd of horses grazes in the background. This is one of the nicest photographs we've had in our history. Image is 15" x 19", attractively framed in 29" x 33" frame. Price: $5,500.00 |

Ken Maynard Striking large hand painted photograph of Ken Maynard, circa 1937.

Developing a photograph this large was diffcult to do during the time, which makes this particular photograph quite unusual. The photo was taken by Sahli in Appleton, Wisconsin. In this photo Ken sits posed, astride a Bohlin crafted saddle, wearing what looks to be an N. Turk outfit. Framed: 35 3/4" in height, 28" in width. Image size: 31 1/2" height, 23 1/2" width.

Cheyenne Gunmen Albumen photograph, mounted on board, of eight armed men (some look like youths), signed "Kirkland, 1884, Cheyenne, Wyo".
