This is an original photograph which is titled, “’Beef-day’ on the Reservation” and on the back Andover, dated August 6, 1893. Andover, South Dakota is near what then was called the Flatiron Reservation, created for the “friendly Dakota” from the Minnesota hostilities of 1862-1866. Signatories of the treaty were Gabriel Renville, John Otherday plus twenty-one other Sisseton and Wahpeton leaders. Gabriel Renville was the first Chief of the Reservation. Now it is called the Lake Traverse Indian Reservation and Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate Reservation. This photograph shows a large format image with immense details showing the Native American’s arriving with the horse and wagons to pickup their Reservation Beef, with wearing blanket wrapped Indian in the foreground, dozens of patrons at the middle ground, Indians lining up in front of the Beef Ration Barn, several gathering on the ground in front of the corals in wearing blankets and traditional hats and in the background several lodges or tipi’s along the winding river with the Mountain set in the background. For a reference see the very similar images of Sioux Indians getting their beef rations at the Rosebud Indian Reservation, South Dakota by John A. Anderson (1869-1948), the image sold at Hindman in June 2023. Provenance: From the Jim Aplan Piedmont, South Dakota collection. Measures 11 1/8” by 7 1/8”. The images is very clear with mostly a clear field in good condition, one corner missing on the image and on the card it is mounted to, with some loss to the card edge slightly. Overall well kept. Previously sold for $1,300 in early 2024.
