"Elias A. Bonine, Photograph Of A Navajo Indian, Albumen Print, 1870 "

Born in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Elias Bonine set up as a professional photographer in California in 1876.
Traveling throughout the state, he specialized in photographing Native American tribes, using his tent as both a home and a darkroom. His commercial output consisted primarily of carte-de-visite-sized prints, and more rarely, as offered here, large albumen prints.
The photograph shows a Navajo Indian with a worried expression, posing in a studio.

Albumen print, circa 1870, 19.5 x 11.5 cm mounted on cardboard. Mint condition, with a small tear in the cardboard in the margin. Provenance: Etherton Gallery, Tucson, USA
