Little Bird, Arapahoe (1898) by Rinehart & Muhr - Historic Native (Framed) (8"x10")

This remarkable portrait captures Little Bird, a member of the Arapaho Nation, photographed in 1898. Taken by Frank A. Rinehart and Adolph F. Muhr, this image is part of a historic and invaluable collection of portraits of Native American delegates who attended the Trans-Mississippi Exposition in Omaha. With its stunning clarity and respectful composition, this photograph is a powerful and dignified historical document.

A Historic Encounter: This portrait was created at the 1898 "Indian Congress," one of the largest gatherings of Native American leaders of the era, offering a rare and invaluable photographic record.

Exceptional Clarity & Detail: Photographed on a large glass-plate negative, this print reveals incredible detail in Little Bird's traditional regalia, from his otter fur hair wraps to his bone-pipe breastplate.

Dignified & Respectful Portraiture: Unlike many depictions of the time, the Rinehart-Muhr portraits are noted for their direct and dignified approach, focusing on the humanity and character of the individual.

By Famed Photographers: Frank A. Rinehart and his chief operator Adolph Muhr are celebrated for creating one of the most important photographic archives of Native American peoples at the turn of the 20th century.

Perfect For: A study, library, or any space dedicated to history, portraiture, and Western American art. It is a profound gift for historians, photography collectors, and anyone interested in Native American history and culture.

Did You Know? The studio where this portrait was taken was set up directly on the grounds of the 1898 Exposition. For many of the over 500 delegates, like Little Bird, this was the first and only time their photograph would be taken with such technical skill and artistry.
