This is an original photograph cabinet card from the 19th Century of Nez Perce Warrior Saul Sol Webb from the Francoise Perriot collection. The image shows Saul Sol Webb seated in a photographer’s studio wearing full Nez Perce regalia having wrapped braids, large arm cuffs, beaded breast collar with a wearing blanket on his lap and beaded moccasins showing through. The back is marked “SAL WEBB”. Saul Sol Webb was a Nez Perce warrior in the late 19th Century who was noted as family members to Jimmy Webb, Pendelton, Oregon. Back in 2017 North American Auction Co. sold a Nez Perce Spontoon Gunstock War Club which was owned by Saul Sol Webb and from the Bessie Cawapoo / Like Cawapoo Chief of the Nez Perce collections. This is one of only potential two known documented images of Saul “Sal” Sol Webb with the other example shown in the images for example. Truly a rare albumen silver gelatin photograph on a cabinet card stock. The photographer is not known, but is likely by a U.S. Army Fort post photographer. For more information on the Webb family and Sol Webb see the circa 1972 Washington State Magazine article by June Bierbower, Hilltopics which notes “Sol” Webb as being in his 90’s.
