Verso with Brady/Anthony imprint and 2-cent US Internal Revenue stamp. -- Studio portrait of five Native subjects with penciled notation on verso that appears to read, " Pottawatomi Chiefs," although no further information has been discovered about the photograph. Verso with 2-cent US Internal Revenue stamp, no backmark. -- Studio view possibly showing some of the same subjects in the previous portrait, although a penciled notation on verso suggests the image was taken at the Sanitary Fair in Chicago.
