Photograph measures 2.25” x 2.75” and 3” x 3.5” in holder. Dark to medium contrast and focus is sharp, but blurred in some spots. There is some wear on the photograph and the holder. The holder was once connected to another, but has since been detached. The photograph shows a man, possibly Sioux, with two young girls. Photographer is unknown, therefore the official tribal identify of the man remains unknown. Based on the man’s attire in comparison with other Native photographs, it’s possible he was Yankton or Santee Sioux. The girls are dressed in Euro American clothing, but wear Native beadwork around their necks. [http://beinecke.library.yale.edu/dl_crosscollex/SetsSearchExecXC.asp?srchtype=ITEM].
