Featured in this lot is an early, Native American photograph and two cabinet card photos 1890-1900s. The first cabinet card photo was taken by R.L. Kelly in Pierre, S.D. It shows a Native American family posing for a photo in the studio. The mother and father are standing, and the father is holding the baby while the two young daughters are seated in front of them. The second cabinet card photo shows a young girl and her mother in the studio. The mother is sat in a chair while her daughter is stood to the right of her. The final photograph shows Eagle Dog and his wife sat in the studio getting their photo taken in Lake Andes, South Dakota. They are in traditional clothing and Eagle Dog sports a large bone chest plate. The photos show good condition overall with wear present from their age and use over the years, but no major signs of damage is noted. The regular photograph shows tears and rips but is still viewable. They measure from 7 1/4" L x 5 1/8" W to 5 3/8" L x 3 3/8" W.*
