Lot of 3 albumen cartes-de-visite of Plains Indians, including 2 known to be from negatives by Will Soule, though the mounts lack a photographer's backmark. One shows a portrait of a smiling Ta-ra-ha-ta, Kochise Chief, and one of a shirtless Wichita Squaw. Accompanied by an exceptional portrait of an Indian armed with a cavalry sabre, wearing a military jacket, epaulettes, and a top hat adorned with infantry insignia; recto margin inked with the dubious identification Red Cloud. Condition: All with light soiling and toning. First two with paper remnants glued to verso from a previous mounting.
