Lot Description
[NATIVE AMERICANS]. HILEMAN, Tomar J. (1882-1945), photographer. Turtle. [Kalispell, Montana, ca 1911]. Photograph originally displayed at Hileman's studio.
13 13/16 x 16 3/4 in. silver gelatin print on cardstock mount (each corner with pinholes/separation, toning to margins; mount with loss to upper right corner, minor creasing, light dampstaining). Image with Hileman blindstamp to lower right corner. Numbered "9572" and subject identified "Turtle" on mount recto and verso. Provenance: Acquired in 1990 from the widow of Blackfoot Chief Big Spring, to whom Hileman gave the photograph (consignor note).
Consignor relates that Chief Big Spring was given several photographs when Hileman closed his studio ca 1925. Apparently the photograph featured here was one of many displayed on the walls of Hileman's Kalispell, MT studio so that interested parties could order copies using the numbers and names boldly displayed on the gray mounts.
