CHOATE, John N. (1848-1902), photographer. Boudoir card featuring a trio of Santee Sioux students of Carlisle Indian School, identified on mount as Henry Standing Bear, Wounded Yellow Robe, and Timber Yellow Robe. Carlisle, PA, ca 1883.
Approx. 5 x 7 7/8 in. boudoir photograph on cardstock mount (light toning and soiling to print; mount with toning and wear to edges and corners); framed to 12 9/16 x 15 3/4 in. (not examined out of frame). Mount recto bears Choate's Carlisle, PA blindstamp along with ink identification of each subject: "Henry Standing Bear, Wounded Yellow Robe, Timber Yellow Robe."
