For your consideration is this Rare Original A. Frank Randall Boudoir Card of Warm Springs Apache Chief, circa 1880-1886. Provenance: Tombstone Western Heritage Museum, Tombstone, Arizona. Randall belonged to a new school of American ethnographic photographers who sought to capture the "authentic" Indian. Dressed not in ceremonial finery but their everyday attire, his subjects were placed virtually in situ: outdoors, or in studio settings created to mimic their "natural environment". Randall is best remembered for a series of portraits he made between 1882 and 1884 of the Western Apache. Frequently pirated, Randall's priceless work is often falsely credited to other photographers, and rarely surfaces in prints from original negatives with appropriate attribution. Between 1883-1887, A. Frank Randall travelled on expeditions around Arizona and New Mexico photographing various Apache tribes, including the Chiricahua, Warm Springs, Mescalero, and Jicarilla Apaches. He accompanied General George Crook as a newspaper correspondent and photographer in the campaign to capture Apache Indians in Mexico. Tombstone Western Heritage Museum label is affixed to the face of the clear protective plastic sleeve, "APACHE CHIEF of the Warm Springs Apaches. He was successor to Victorio. Photo by 'A. F. Randall in Willcox, A. T." On the reverse of the boudoir card is Randall's stamp in purple, "A. F. RANDALL Photographer, WILLCOX, - A. T." A separate typed note is pasted on the reverse stating "Entered according to act of Congress, in the year 1884, by A.F. Randall, in the office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington." Also handwritten in pencil is, "Head Chief Warm Spriings Apaches Successor to Victorio". Handwritten museum code at the top, "P177." The gold gilt edge boudoir card is in overall good condition, age tanning and slight scuffing on edges noted. Card measures 5.25"W x 8.5"L, plastic sleeve is 6.375"W x 9.25"L, combined weight is U6.
