CROW (Apsaalooke) INDIANS, WYOMING TERRITORY

c. 1883

Albumen boudoir [?] card, with imprint of Dalgleish Bros., Georgetown, Colo. Stamped imprint, verso, probably of a distributor: "Kneisel & Anderson." Title lettered in negative at bottom of image. Minor water spotting along lower edge, and verso; upper left corner clipped, not affecting image. Otherwise a very fine, previously unknown, early group portrait. The locale probably is the 2nd Crow Agency, near present Absarokee, Montana, in Stillwater County. The stream in the background, then, would be Rosebud Creek (not to be confused with Rosebud River). Crow Agency was moved to its present location in Bighorn County, Montana, in 1883.

Dimensions: 4 1/2 x 7 inches
