Offered in this lot is a collection of four original Harmon Percy Marble photographs. Harmon Percival Marble (November 5, 1870 – February 3, 1945) was an American journalist and politician. He was the mayor of Las Vegas from 1938 to 1939 and was a photographer of Native Americans. Marble is known as a prolific photographer of Native Americans. During his government career with Indian Service, he took advantage of opportunities of his positions to take hundreds of photographs of the Navajo, Menominee, and Sioux tribes. His photographs were inconsistently exposed, often poorly composed and poorly printed. However, this lack of artistic sense rendered photos that offer an unvarnished portraiture of the indigenous people. In this collection is a photo of a man holding the lead to a horse out of the photo, a woman in elaborate dress. On the back of this photo is lot # and description of the photo. The next two photos also have provenance on the back of them with lot numbers and information about the photo. The first is of the "Kiet Siel" cliff dwelling and the next is of a "Butterfly" ceremony dance. This photograph has previously sold by itself for $650. The photographs measure 5" X 7" and are in plastic protector sleeves and in very good condition for their over 100-year-old age.
