Photographic archive of cabinet cards
Cabinet cards 6 1/2 in x 4 1/2 in / 16.5 x 11.4 cm
Provenance: Private Nebraska collection
This 1890s photographic archive relates to Prof. W.T. Collings and the horse known as “Julius the Man Killer” in Beaver City, Nebraska. The group appears to document a performer, trainer, or showman connected to late nineteenth-century equestrian entertainment and regional public spectacle. Its Nebraska provenance gives the archive a direct Plains and American West collecting context.
The cabinet card shown presents Collings in formal dress, posed with a long whip against a painted studio backdrop. The format reflects the way performers and specialized acts were promoted and preserved through studio photography during the period. As an archive, the group fits within American West photography, equestrian history, and nineteenth-century entertainment material.
