Lot of 7 silver gelatin photographs, most approx. 3.25 x 5.5 in., one smaller. Featuring six images titled and signed "Tuell" with her copyright (or blindstamp), and all but one with extensive notations on verso believed to be in Tuell's hand. Subjects include: views of "The Sacred Buffalo Skull and Sweat Lodge - Cheyenne," and a group of Cheyenne "Entering the Sweat Lodge"; two views of "An Aged Grave - Cheyenne," with one showing a Cheyenne involved in the "very ancient manner of burying in the trees"; "A Camp on the Rosebud," capturing the "spot, on the Rosebud River, Montana that Gen. Geo. A. Custer and his entire band of boys camped on the nite [sic] of June 24, 1876, which was their last peaceful sleep on earth"; and "Custer's Monument & tombstones of those who fell with him - Montana," which was taken on June 25, 1906, the 30th anniversary of his death, as per verso inscription, with Tuell's blindstamp lower right. Accompanied by unsigned 4 x 6 in. silver gelatin photograph of "Standing Rock Monument, Ft. Yates, N.D." Julia Tuell (1886-1960) moved west accompanying her school teacher husband. Eventually settling at Lame Deer Agency, Montana, she developed an interest in photography and began taking images of the Northern Cheyenne. She became a keen observer of Cheyenne culture, and because of her status as a woman, was allowed access to scenes of daily and ceremonial life usually considered off limits to whites. Her photographs of the Sun Dance, for example, record scenes that were fast-fading on the Northern Plains. Condition: Loose, unmounted silver gelatin photographs. Very good to near excellent condition, with some light corner/edge wear.
