Tribal affiliation unidentified, Rocky Mountain region
1870s
Stereoview photograph, albumen print on yellow mount
Height approx. 3.5 in. (8.9 cm), width approx. 7 in. (17.8 cm)
Provenance: Private Colorado collection
This stereoview photograph by W. H. Jackson shows a Native American rider posed on horseback in front of a tipi, from the series titled "Views among the Rocky Mountains of Colorado." William Henry Jackson was one of the most prolific and widely distributed photographers of the American West, and his stereoview series documented landscapes, settlements, and Native peoples across the Rocky Mountain region during the 1870s for broad commercial distribution. The yellow mount and printed side text are original to the period presentation and form part of the object's photographic history.
Stereoview photographs were made with two nearly identical images mounted side by side and viewed through a stereoscope to create an impression of depth, and were among the most widely collected photographic formats of the nineteenth century. The sitter's tribal affiliation is not identified in the caption and should remain general rather than assigning a specific culture. From a private Colorado collection.
