thank you. I've been looking all over the web for Bierstadt photos and can't locate them. Except for the one of the Shoshone man on horseback.

The sketch portraits at the top, and - I think - the group picture below them, are in the Metropolitan Museum in New York. I saw them when I was there in April.

It is funny, the People at the Blanton Museum identified the (clearly) native tripod as a Camera tripod.
The Studies of Indian Chiefs is interesting. BTW: There are 3 men an one woman.
I wonder if the "chief" Margo is maybe Marie Bordeaux. Bierstadt (a member of the Frederic Lander Expedition) was in Laramie about June 1859.
As far as I know lived James Bordeaux with his wife Marie from about 1841 at the later Fort Laramie.
I know we discussed it before, but it would be very interesting to find more of the Bierstadt photographs.
Note:
Oh, I just saw what Kingsley wrote about the woman :"The wife of Antoine Reynal was (according to Francis Parkman) called Margot."
So, maybe we have her already identified.

Some more Bierstadt paintings, three of which were originally brought to my attention on the Plains Indian Seminar message site:  I'd guess the man on the right is Wild West Show era; presumably the man on the left is too - or is he based on an older image taken back in 1859?   This one has the look of those Indians he/his brother photographed in 1859, with the disk in the hair parting. Wonder if it is from that era or from a photograph taken then.  Surely a Wild West Show era painting? If memory serves, at least three are in the Gilcrease Museum. |

A couple more Bierstadts that look as if they were done 'in the field' as it were. Not Lakota, however...   |

Horses Feared is the man with the pipe. This was taken in 1868 at Fort Laramie. Attachments:

My optimum date for this photograph is 1853: (left to right) Horses Feared (1804-1889)(49), Jules Shangrau (1825-?)(28), No Neck (1835-1901)(18), Smoke (1774-1864)(79), Cloud Horse (1845-?)(8), Names Her (1846-?)(7), Julian Louis Shangrau (1848-1899)(5), John Shangrau (1850-1926)(3), Wiyela (1822-?)(31), Yellow Hair (1800-?)(53), Bears Foot (1852-?)(1), and Brown Eyes (1810-?)(43). This was taken on the 1859 Lander expedition; here is the Bietstadt catalogue for 1860:   www.kshs.org/publicat/khq/1958/1958spring_snell.pdf |
