Description: BPLDC no.: 09_03_000046 Title: Attendees of the 1898 Indian Congress : Yellow Feather (Maricopa) Creator: Frank A. Rinehart (1861-1928) Date created: 1898-1899 General format: platinum print photograph BPL Department: Print Department Description: Rinehart, a commercial photographer in Omaha, Nebraska, was commissioned to photograph the 1898 Indian Congress, part of the Trans-Mississippi International Exposition. More than five hundred Native Americans from thirty-five tribes attended the conference, providing the gifted photographer and artist an opportunity to create a stunning visual document of Native American life and culture at the dawn of the 20th century. Although the portraits are posed and artistically lighted in his studio, they have a candid intimacy that allows his subjects individuality and dignity, a quality not shared by most 19th-century ethnographic photography. Rinehart printed the photographs as platinum prints, a photographic medium known for its delicate tonal range and permanence.
