Lot Description
[WESTERN AMERICANA]. Albumen photograph featuring Tom Custer, Nellie Wadsworth, and William W. Cooke on a sleigh ride. Ca 1875.

5 x 7 in. (sight), mounted to cardstock and matted to 7 3/4 x 10 in. (image toned, with some soiling and few stray marks/spots; mount with chipping and loss to edges, toning, and soiling throughout, separating from mat at bottom right corner). A view of Tom Custer and Colonel William W. Cooke on an outing with Nellie Wadsworth. A similar view of George A. Custer in a sleigh at Fort Abraham Lincoln suggests that this was taken at the same location in the Dakota Territory. 

Published in Lawrence Frost's The Custer Album p. 147.
This lot is located in Cincinnati.
