Lot Description

[LATE INDIAN WARS]. A group of 4 photographs, highlighted by outdoor view of armed US Infantry soldier in the desert and portrait of 9th US Infantry soldiers. 


BAER, Erwin, photographer. 4 x 7 1/8 in. boudoir photograph on cardstock mount of a US Infantry soldier posed with sword in desert. Prescott, A.T.: ca 1888-1889 (light soiling, hole punched in top blank part of photograph, possibly for hanging?). Advertising on verso, “Erwin Baer, Photographer, Prescott, Arizona, Send for Catalogue.” Mautz, p. 53 Baer was active in Flagstaff from 1887-1890.
 
[With:] KIRKLAND, photographer. Trimmed 5 1/2 x 4 in. cabinet card of three soldiers in 9th Infantry dress uniform (with one additional man and two women). Mautz, p. 654. The Kirkland brothers were active in Cheyenne in the 1870s and 1880s.       

[With:] 6 1/2 x 3 1/4 in. cabinet photograph on cardstock mount of 10th Infantry soldiers in dress uniform in front of unidentified fort. 1866. Handwritten information on the verso mis-identifies the fort as Fort Union, NM (soiling, some spotting, image and mount appear to have been trimmed along right and left edges).

[Also with:] Whipple Barracks. Ca 1880. 2 x 6 1/4 in. silver gelatin photograph showing a panorama of the facility near Prescott, AZ (some corner and edge wear). 

Together, 4 photographs, condition generally fair to good, unless otherwise noted.
