Lot Description
[NATIVE AMERICANS]. DE GRAFF, W.H., photographer. Cabinet card of Sitting Bull. Bismarck, North Dakota: ca 1890s.

3 7/8 x 5 1/4 in. cabinet card on cardstock mount (rich tonality, even toning; light edge and corner wear to mount, including short tear/imperfection at bottom edge). Photographer's imprint on mount recto and penciled identification on verso. Sitting Bull sits outside a tepee holding a beaded knife sheath, pipe bag, and pipe. This image was likely taken by O.S. Goff in stereoview format at Sitting Bull's camp on the Grand River not long after his final surrender. A Rare Picture of Sitting Bull -- "Tatonka iyotanka." 

W.H. DeGraff leased D.F. Barry's studio in Bismarck when Barry moved to Superior, Wisconsin in 1890.
