Featured in this lot is this circa 1880's No. 3 Sitting Bull's Camp with Officer of the day who counts them morning and evening, photograph cabinet card by W.R. Cross between 1860 and 1920. The photograph shows the officer of the day walking through the camp with Sitting Bull's Hunkpapa Sioux sitting on the ground outside their teepee's. The stereoview is marked as follows: No. 3 - Sitting Bull's camp with officer of the day who counts them morning and evening..." (the rest is cut off by the cropping). William Richard Cross (1839-1907) started his Western photography career in 1867 when he and his wife settled in Nebraska at the midst of the Indian Wars, where he later opened a gallery. Around 1871, he began photographing the Brul? Sioux on their lands around the Spotted Tail, later the Rosebud Agency. This image was most likely taken between 1866 and 1920. By the late 1880s, Cross relocated to the area around the Black Hills (Paha Sapa) and in 1890, he took over the gallery of photographer J.W. Piek in Hot Springs. The condition of this W.R. Cross stereoview is preserved with one side of the double print photograph being water damaged and blurs the photograph but otherwise shows a preserved condition. The measurements of this stereoview is 4 1/4" x 6 1/2". The collective weight of this stereoview is U4oz.
