This is a fantastic 19th-century collection of two Indian Wars era U.S. solider photograph cabinet cards showing Lieutenant Perkins from the Jim Aplan Piedmont, South Dakota collection. Both are cabinet card albumen photographs dating to the circa 1880-1890’s from the Plains of the Indian Wars. The first photograph was taken Burkholder in Okobojo, South Dakota and shows Lt. Perkins in his uniform posing for a photo in a studio. The back is marked showing his name, the location of the photo or his post and his age; Lieutenant Harry E. Perkins circa 1890 at 26 years of age. His father was Henry Welles Perkins who was a Civil War Union Army Officer, Brevetted Brigadier General. The second cabinet card photo shows another military man in his uniform holding his bugle; this is thought to be a circa 1880’s image of Henry Perkins. It was taken by M.B. Barton in Alexandria, S.D. They show good condition overall with wear present from their age and use over the years but no major signs of damage is noted. Provenance: Form the Jim Aplan, South Dakota collection. They measure 6 1/2" L x 4 1/4" W.*
