This ferrotype (an image printed on a thin, blackened sheet of metal) measures 2.5" x 3.5", and 3"x 4.75" in its red card holder. High to medium contrast, and mostly sharp focus, with a few blurs, darker background. This image shows a man posed for a picture. He is wearing a mixture of Euro-American clothing and American Indian items, including beaded shoes and a pipe. The photographer is unknown, therefore the official tribal identify of the man remains unknown. Based on the man’s attire, it’s possible he was Sioux [Ref: http://beinecke.library.yale.edu].
