[NATIVE AMERICANS]. 16 photographs of Native Americans, incl. Nez Perce and Inuit subjects.

6 1/2 x 4 1/2 in. photograph on cardstock mount showing a Native American man and young child in traditional dress posed between two cowboys, possibly wild west show performers. A penciled notation on verso indicates that the photograph was once included in the collection of Prince Roland Bonaparte, then purchased in Paris, "ex Bernard Garrett Coll." Based on this information, the photograph was possibly taken during the Paris tour of the Wild West Show in 1889 (fading to print, toning; edge and corner wear to mount).
