Summary
Identified as a daguerreotype by Solomon Carvalho of a Plains Indian village in Kansas Territory taken during the Frïemont Expedition in 1853, probably copied by the Mathew Brady studio. This identification was based on the fact that the daguerreotype was acquired by the Library with other daguerreotypes from the Brady studio and that Brady was hired by Frïemont to copy Carvalho's daguerreotypes on wet plate negatives.
Produced by Mathew Brady's studio.
Transfer; U.S. War College; 1920; (DLC/PP-1920:46153).
Forms part of: Daguerreotype collection (Library of Congress).
