Albumen print on card
Height 5 1/2 × Width 4 3/4" (14 × 12.1 cm) including mount
Provenance: Private collection, Santa Fe, New Mexico
This 1880s albumen print depicts an Apache woman seated against a rock formation, mounted on card and belonging to the late nineteenth-century visual record of Native American portraiture in the Southwest. The sitter is shown outdoors, with clothing, posture, and setting forming the central elements of the image. The Apache attribution is retained as given, without additional claims not supported by the available information.
The albumen process gives the photograph the warm tonal quality associated with many nineteenth-century prints, and its small mounted format suggests an image made for personal viewing, collecting, or regional circulation. The print is described with clear cultural attribution while avoiding elaboration beyond what the object documents. The print is in collector condition with private Santa Fe provenance.
