Lot 245: D.F. Barry Photographs of Yellow Hawk and Walking Cow

Lot of 2 cabinet cards, ca 1890. Yellow Hawk, Oglala Dakota, is wearing beads, and holds a quill-decorated bag. Walking Cow, a woman, wears a dentalium shell necklace. Card carries ink notation, Walking Cow Sioux Mad Bears Daughter. Both cards carry Barry's Bismarck, North Dakota imprints on front and back, thus this card was probably made between Nov. 2, 1889 when Dakota Territory became North and South Dakota and when Barry sold his Bismarck studio early in 1890. Both cards also carry exhibit labels for the Second International Congress of Eugenics, Sept. 22 to Oct. 22, 1921 at the American Museum of Natural History where they were exhibited by C. F. Fish.

Small pin holes, top of both cards.
