5x7 glass plate negative photographed by Rosenfeld and Sons, ca. 1916. View of a group of Native American Indian children all dressed in formal dress standing posed in front of a tepee. The trees in the background look to be the type found in the northeastern U.S.. Images in this box were found loose without envelopes or any identification. Images are of Native Americans in western Indian clothing but photographed in the eastern part of the United States in various poses. The guess is that these images may have been taken for an advertisement or a movie or a post card. Videodisc address: 3-39375.
