1850BB.23.009<p><em><strong>Sixth-plate daguerreotype; Accompanied by the original identification slip and research notes.</strong></em></p><p>Sixth plate daguerreotype with some slight fading and scratches professionally cleaned and recased in a modern case in 1992 with receipts for the restoration provided. Accompanied by a period inked note reading: Dwiouski / Showsky for Hannah / Ischunuongwandt / Tunangwant.</p><p>A very early image of an indigenous subject in a Hudson's Bay Company blanket. A note accompanying the photograph identifies the sitter as "Dwiousky / Showsky for Hannah / Ischunuongwandt / Tunungwant." This would identify the sitter as Seneca from the area close to the Tunungwant Creek - also known as the Tuna Creek - near the Pennsylvania / New York border in the Bradford area. The image has additional significance for its portrayal of a Hudson Bay Company blanket many of which were traded to indigenous traders in in Canada as part of the company's fur trade efforts. The Seneca traded with other tribes and it is possible the blanket was procured through intertribal trade as HBC blankets were primarily traded amongst First Nations populations to the north. Overall a very uncommon image perhaps one of the earliest photographs of an indigenous subject adorned in an HBC blanket.</p>

HISTORICAL NOTES: Wiki: The Improved Order of Red Men traces its origin to certain secret patriotic societies founded before the American Revolution. They were established to promote Liberty and to defy the tyranny of the English Crown. Among the early groups were: The Sons of Liberty the Sons of St. Tammany and later the Society of Red Men. Their rituals and regalia are modeled after those used by Native Americans. The organization claimed a membership of about half a million in 1935 but has declined to less than 38000. Notable members: Theodore Roosevelt Warren G. Harding and Franklin D. Roosevelt. ; Manuscript; Folio - over 12" - 15" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF RED MEN FRATERNITY IMPROVED ORDER OF THE RED MEN KITCHAWAU TRIBE CROTON-ON-HUDSON WESTCHESTER COUNTY NEW YORK WASHINGTON REDSKINS SECRET PATRIOTIC SOCIETIES AMERICAN REVOLUTION THE SONS OF LIBERTY THE SONS OF ST.
