Shoshone, 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 depicts a Shoshone village centered on a large tipi identified in the caption as the war chief's tent, with several figures visible in the foreground against a landscape of trees and open ground. William Henry Jackson was among the most prolific photographers of the American West, and his stereoview series documented Native communities, landscapes, and survey era travel across the Rocky Mountain region during the 1870s for broad commercial distribution. The printed caption names both the people and the structure, giving this card more documentary specificity than many stereoviews of the period, and the paired image presentation on yellow mount is original to the object's period format. From a private Colorado collection.
