Featured in this lot is an Original Oglala Two Bulls Photograph Cabinet Card, circa 1900, by Scott, Yankton, South Dakota. Joseph Two Bulls (1869-1918, est.) was an Oglala Lakota Sioux, son of Two Bulls. Provenance: From the John Kleinschmidt collection which was on loan to the C.M. Russell Museum from 1987 to 1993 and included in the "The Cowboy West: 100 Years of Photography 1992-1993 exhibit. The photograph was taken in the Scott studio in Yankton, South Dakota. Two Bulls is dressed in traditional breechcloth made of selvedge-edge trade cloth, legging pants and moccasins. Around his neck are multi strand beaded necklaces, a claw necklace, a neck scarf. In his right hand he tightly grips a bifurcated war club, the handle end decorated with feathers. His head is covered with a large feather headdress with a long trailer. The backdrop shows a painted Native American village scene. A wonderfully preserved photograph of Two Bulls, an Oglala Sioux man who was most likely too young, seventeen, to have fought at at the Battle of the Little Big Horn, but was intimately acquainted with the leaders and warriors of his clan. "Two Bulls" name is written at the centre bottom, "Scott," is printed on the bottom left, "Yankton, S.D." is printed on the bottom right. The photograph cabinet card is in nice preserved condition, age tanning, corner scuffing, pin hole at top centre and bottom right from previous mounting. Measures 4.25"W x 6.5"L.
