This piece was purchased from the Virginia Snook Estate in Billings, Montana and is a photograph of a Crow Native American Indian in winter leading a horse. The piece has a warm coloring and shows the Crow Indian leading the horse into the distance. Richard Throssel (1882-1933) was born in Marengo, Washington of French-Canadian and Cree Indian descent. He moved to the Crow reservation in 1902 for the drier climate, and in 1905 was adopted by the tribe and given the name Esh Quon Dupahs or "Kills Inside the Camp." He became interested in photography and learned his trade through correspondence schools. In 1905 he met and was briefly instructed by Edward S. Curtis. His closeness with tribal members provided extraordinary opportunity, and with his camera, Throssel covered many aspects of Crow life. The picture is signed in the photo negative, “62025 Copyright 07 (with an arrowhead).” The piece shows good overall condition. The piece measures 7.75”x9.75.
