14" x 19 1/2" albumen print by James Landy, Cincinnati, on an elaborate mount with letterpress title and information, in its original elaborately carved 28" x 33" wooden frame made expressly for this print. C. 1888 by Landy. It was the prize picture of the Photographer's Association of America in 1888, and winner of the Blair Cup. This was two years before Wounded Knee, and more than 30 years after Longfellow finished his poem, from the height of New England's transcendentalist period, shortly before the Civil War. The preoccupation of white Americans to represent themselves as Indians not only was a dominant theme in the second half of the 19th Century; it continued in movies and TV well past the middle of the following Century, and contained within itself something of the assumption of "blackness" that is still with us. The outsized grandeur of this object is appropriate to its nature as an icon of a significant aspect of the American identify. No damage, and only very minor imperfections on the frame. [3+]

1) Our responsibility is to present the material clearly and accurately, giving you a good idea of what the object is, and what its condition. We present the lots with a minimum bid that is clearly stated. The material itself should speak to you. If you have questions, don't hesitate to contact us. We'll try to answer as best as we can. By following this policy we just about never have any returns or related problems. If it should happen that you find a lot is not what you expected from the description, just contact us and we'll try to make it right. In the rare case where something seems not quite as it was presented, you just have to let us know within 10 days of your receipt, and if you return it quickly in the condition it was sent, we'll give you full credit or a refund. We are almost never called upon to do this, and in those rare cases the underbidder was happy to get the lot.
2) Your responsibility is to deal with your Invoice quickly and responsibly. It will be sent to you by E-mail soon after the close of bidding. Your invoice will include the amount of your bid or bids, a reasonable charge for shipping and handling, and the 15% premium. NY State bidders without a current valid re-sale or tax exempt certificate on file with us will have to pay an 8.5% State sales tax.

International bidders must pay with an International Money order in US dollars. If you would prefer to pay by credit card (American Express, MasterCard, Visa) just let us know when you receive your Invoice. We can easily charge the Credit Card you gave when you registered, but only if you let us know. If we don't receive your payment or clear instructions within 10 days after the Invoice is sent, we will offer the lot to the underbidder or take other appropriate action.
