This wonderful, period, Card Mount Photograph measures approx. 3 3/4” by 5 1/2” and is mounted on its original, photographer’s Card Mount (overall size is 4 1/4” by 6 1/2”). The Image features a beautiful, young Sac & Fox Woman wearing a patterned cotton skirt and wrapped in what appears to be a wool blanket. She has fashioned a portion of the blanket into a “cradle board” type carrier on her back that holds her very young child. The mount carries the mark of the photographer – Moore of Toledo, Iowa – and a period inscription on the reverse reads “Sac & Fox of Iowa”.

    This rare and wonderful, Native American Sac & Fox Cabinet Card Photograph is in very good condition. The Photograph exhibits sharp focus, strong contrast and rich, warm tonality. The Image is quite clean and well preserved however there are 3 tack holes along the top edge that do affect to Photo itself and two tack holes at the bottom corners affecting the mount only. The mount has some soiling and light edge wear also.

    A rare and original, 19th century, Cabinet Card Photo of a Native American Sac & Fox Indian Mother and Child and a fantastic addition to any collection!!!
