Lot of 2 excellent photos. 1) Two men, one seated and one standing on a buffalo hide, are posed outside a wooden building with an Indian blanket hanging as a backdrop. The standing man is wearing a full Plains Indian ceremonial outfit of buckskin and fur, beaded moccasins, and a feathered headdress. The seated man is also wearing beaded moccasins but is dressed in a long-sleeved shirt, trousers and vest, his hair braided with a feather in it. He has a fur pelt across his lap. Both are holding items which are difficult to decipher. On the reverse of the photo is written: “Phoebe Wilpaten in Bonnet. Photo by Edward Latham c 1900-1903. Image on P4Z. GREAT SPIRIT. North American Indian Portraits.” The photo measures 6 x 8” and is not mounted. 2) This photo is a wonderful close-up view of an elderly pueblo man squatting beside an adobe wall. He wears a knotted cloth headband, white shirt, dark trousers, and has lace-up brogans on his feet. He is looking directly into the camera with his weathered face and gray hair. Also not mounted.
