Albumen photograph on mount
5.75 in high x 4.75 in wide; 14.61 cm high x 12.07 cm wide
Provenance: Private collection, Upstate New York
This mounted photograph is inscribed “After the Grass Dance” and marked Poplar, Montana, with the date July 6, 1907. Poplar was within the Fort Peck region of northeastern Montana, an area associated with Plains Native communities and reservation-era photography. The image records a standing figure in dance clothing, photographed outdoors rather than in a studio setting.
The sitter is shown wearing decorated clothing, beadwork, and a long light-colored cloth draped over one shoulder. The mount inscription gives the photograph additional documentary context, connecting the image to a named dance event rather than a generic portrait. As an early 20th-century Plains photograph, it preserves a small but direct visual record of dance, dress, and place.
