Boudoir photograph credited on verso to William L. Sawyers, Purcell, Indian Territory, featuring three Oklahoma Territory Indians in a tipi. A blanket is spread on the ground, with game pieces of some sort arranged before them. With his partner, William J. Lenny, Sawyers operated a photography studio in Purcell (active ca 1889-1891), where they photographed Indian tribes who lived on nearby reservations. Many of these images were reproduced in the US Census of 1890.
