Original textured matte-finish 8 x 10 photograph of Hunkpapa Lakota chief Gall by David Francis Barry, a pioneering photographer of the American West, taped by its edges to its worn original 9 x 12.5 mount, with "Copyright by D. F. Barry" blindstamped in the lower right. Affixed to the reverse are the photographer's label, "D. F. Barry, Photographs of All Noted Indian Chiefs," and a page of testimonial blurbs; according to General Charles King: "The Photograph of Chief Gall, with his head and body unadorned by savage finery of any kind with the Buffalo robes thrown back, baring his magnificent Torso, is one of the most striking of all Indian pictures, and it is a speaking likeness, too, looking just as if he had stepped forth to address his people." Some biographical details are provided at the bottom: "Gall died in Dec. 1894, at Standing Rock Agency, North Dakota. Gall was the Master Mind and the leader of the Indians in the Custer fight." In very good to fine condition, with clear tape along the edges, easily matted out.
