Albumen cabinet photograph captioned in the negative, lower right, Chincohua Apache Prince, with two applied paper labels on mount verso, the first promoting E. Schuster, Dealer in Ancient and Modern Indian Pottery, Fine Navajo Blankets, Apache Water Baskets...Las Vegas Hot Springs, N.M., the second promoting the Atlantic & Pacific R.R. While this image does not appear to be a copy, the identical image was issued by A.F. Randall of Wilcox, A.T. As Mautz (1997:45) has noted, however, there is a degree of overlap of negatives between both Randall and Ben Wittick, thus the authorship of this particular image remains open to question. Clearly, however, given the notoriety of the Arizona Apaches there was a public demand for their images, and various photographers may have ordered prints to mount and retail. Condition: Some light soiling to image and mount; light wear along corners and edges of mount.
