Featured in this lot is this self portrait photo of Frank B. Fiske, taken by himself and a Fiske's Photo pamphlet circa 1950, two years before he passed, from the ex-collection of the C.M. Russell Museum and John Kleinschmidt. Frank Bennett Fiske was an early photographer born at Fort Bennett in the Dakota Territory, spending most of his life in the Fort Yates area. He was best known for his rich, detailed portraits of Native American Indians, for which he won the North Dakota Art Award in 1950. He learned the trade from S.T. Fansler, post studio photographer, and remained in Fort Yates to document the town, the Standing Rock Agency, and the changing ways of the frontier. The photo shows Fiske in a white button up shirt, wearing a tie and a hat as he looks directly towards the viewer.
