Irwin Cabinet Photograph of Comanche Indians Gambling

Estimate
n. a.
Price realised:
US$840
Beschreibung:

Cabinet card photograph depicting Comanche Indians on a reservation gambling, with Irwin's Chickasha, Indian Territory imprint below image on mount. Cowan's previously offered the same photograph, which was identified on verso as Comanche Indians playing Monte near Ft. Sill. The card game is occurring out of our view at lower right. A surrounding crowd of female Comanche spectators cheer on their husbands or brothers. Note the baby in a classic, Comanche board-frame cradle carried on his mother's back at center; several other children, some quite large, carried on their mothers' backs. Apparently more than one game is in progress, as the male spectators at upper right appear focused on a different group. Condition: Image and mount near excellent.
