Lot of 8 photographs measure 3.35” 5.25” and 11” x 8” mounted on white matte, 4 photographs on each side. Low to medium contrast and focus is sharp on almost all of the photos. There are some wear on the photographs. Small marks appear on some. Photographer is unknown, as well as the location. But based on their appearance they are most likely Western Shoshone living in Nevada. 7 of the photos document Native life post Euro- Americana settlement in the west, the show groups playing card or games or gambling and camping out. The men and woman in the photos all wear Euro-American clothing. Only 1 photo shows someone in Native dress, his name is identified as “Red Elk.” - Vinegar Collection
