Chief Gall Original Photograph by D. F. Barry Original 7 x 9.75 photograph of Hunkpapa Lakota chief Gall by David Francis Barry, a pioneering photographer of the American West, housed in its original 7.25 x 10.25 studio folder, with a "Copyright by D. F. Barry" blindstamped in his shoulder area, "Barry" blindstamped on the mount, and a page of testimonial blurbs affixed on the reverse. According to General Charles King: "The Photograph of Chief Gall, with his head and body unadorned by savage finery of any kind with the Buffalo robes thrown back, baring his magnificent Torso, is one of the most striking of all Indian pictures, and it is a speaking likeness, too, looking just as if he had stepped forth to address his people." Some biographical details are provided at the bottom: "Gall died in Dec. 1894, at Standing Rock Agency, North Dakota. Gall was the Master Mind and the leader of the Indians in the Custer fight." In fine condition, with some staining and wrinkling to the blurb.
