Tribal affiliation unidentified
1870s
Stereoview photograph, albumen print on yellow mount
Height 3½ in. (8.9 cm), width 7 in. (17.8 cm)
Provenance: Private collection, Albuquerque, NM
This stereoview photograph published by Judd & McLeish of Syracuse, New York depicts a Native American man holding a pipe in a formal studio pose, following the paired image format used for stereoscopic viewing in the nineteenth century. Judd & McLeish was among the commercial publishers who produced and distributed stereoview cards of Native American subjects for the broad home viewing market that developed in the United States after the Civil War. The yellow mount, publisher's imprint, and handwritten notation visible on the card are original to the object's period presentation and collecting history.
The sitter's tribal affiliation is not identified by tribe or region in the available information and should remain general. Studio portraits of Native men with pipes were a recurring subject in commercial stereoview production of this period, and the formal dress and composed pose reflect the conventions of commercial studio photography rather than documentary fieldwork. From a private collection in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
