Imperial Cabinet Card Photograph of Dancing Laguna Pueblo Indians. A mounted albumen photograph of dancing Pueblo Indians in Laguna Pueblo, New Mexico, in the impressively sized Imperial Cabinet Card format. Young Pueblo Indians are guided by elders in an initiation or "inauguration" dance ceremony as women and children spectators from the Pueblo rest against the ladder-strewn adobe walls of the Pueblo. Laguna Pueblo is located west of Albuquerque. George Benjamin Wittick came west (from Moline, Illinois) to work as a photographer for the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad's 1878 expansion into New Mexico. He worked for the railroad until 1883. Wittick later made his living peripatetically, setting up photo studios in Gallup and other smaller New Mexico towns. In 1900 he established his last studio at Fort Wingate, New Mexico. Some believe that Wittick made the famous and only known surviving photograph of Billy the Kid. A visually rich photograph of Native Americans in Laguna Pueblo by a noted western photographer. Signed in the negative: "A Wittick Photo.". Map.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 16 ORIGINAL ALBUMEN PHOTOGRAPHS CIRCA 1895-1900 TAKEN IN NEW MEXICO AND ARIZONA TERRITORIES by or attributed to the noted photographer, Ben Wittick. It is possible that his one-time business partner, A. Frank Randall, made some of these images, but we think not; see descriptions below. 4 5/8" x 6 5/8" each. This remarkable group presents a variety of locations, scenes, and people. All 16 are affixed to "Kodak Photographs" album card stock sheets 9 5/8" x 12 ½" with a cloth hinge for each page or sheet. It is reported that Wittick created a few albums of a similar nature, although those recorded contain smaller sized photos. Descriptions, in brief (I am using numbers for separation of description only): (1) School photo of nuns and female students at Loretta Indian School, Bernalillo, NM; (2) School photo of male students with teacher, location unidentified (on the blackboard is written: "By Señor Don L J Berea"); (3) underexposed interior photo of a wedding party with bride exquisitely dressed; (4) overexposed "Shearing in New Mexico" outdoor scene; (5 & 6) Estatua de Quahutomoc and also Plaza de la Constitucion, y Catedral (these two have info printed on them. It is recorded that Wittick traveled to this location in Mexico; (7 & 8) two fabulous images of a white man dressed in buckskin beside a Native American woman dressed in a lovely dress and robe. Both are wearing squash blossom necklaces and silver conch belts. A horse is standing behind them in one photo. They are a couple, but are just barely holding hands in one of the two photos. He has his hand around her shoulder in the other photos. The woman is clearly uncertain or unhappy about something in both, perhaps because her photo is being taken which for many Native Americans at the times was a threat to their soul or personhood. EXCELLENT exposure and contrast on these two; (9) four women in a library, unknown location; (10) faded photo identified in the public auction and museum record as "Snake Dance of the Moquis, Walpi Village, Arizona." (11) rock building, location unknown, with group of Native Americans, a priest, and at least a couple of white people, all standing together. WITTICK IS SEATED AWAY FROM THE GROUP AND IS EASILY IDENTIFIED; (12) cluster of buildings large and small beside a river, location unknown. Rock cliff above them is similar to Kearns Canyon; (13) group of 4 photos of two priests in formal street suits, and a couple of military men wearing different styles of uniforms. Each of these photos presents a different combination of the four men. They are variously hamming it with their weapons as if they were teenagers in one photo. In another, an individual is playing a guitar. In three of them a military sun helmet of the period is being worn as part of the uniform dress. In our search of all the museum and historical locations that house Wittick photographs, including the 1,183 images in the New Mexico Digital Collections archive, we found only the Snake Dance photo, an original print of which sold at auction in 2021 for around $400. Extensive information may be found on Ben Wittick on the internet. One photo has a minor corner chip, else no chips or tears on any in the group. One Kodak page is cracked in the corner and has been minimally stabilized with archival filmoplast tape. A splendid group of exceptional and almost entirely unrecorded candid, posed, and descriptive photos. Rare.

First edition. 5 1/4" x 8 1/2" (11 1/8" x 14 3/4" framed) photograph of an Apache Maiden by Western photographer George Ben Wittick. He traveled with Matilde Coxe Stevenson, the first woman to work in the Southwest as an ethnologist, on her ethnographic survey of Arizona in 1881. In 1885, she became President of the Women's Anthropological Society of America. George Benjamin Wittick was a photographer born in Pennsylvania, later moving to Illinois, and then out west in 1878 to pursue frontier photography. He first worked for the Atlantic and Pacific Railroads, but later established his first photography studio in Gallup, New Mexico. During his career, he photographed many subjects to include the railroad; southwestern landscapes such as Canyon de Chelly, the Navajo Reservation, and Pueblo scenes; and the Native peoples mostly the Apache, Navajo, Hopi, and Zuni. He also painted scenes of the American expansion westward as well. He carried with him a collection of props for his photographs to include rifles, pistols, blankets, pottery, and more. Most of his photographs were taken outside using the natural sunlight against backdrops. His best known photographs were of Geronimo and Billy the Kid. In 1900, he established his last studio at Fort Wingate. He later died in 1903 of a rattlesnake bite at Fort Wingate, which was foretold by a Hopi priest. Photograph is well-mounted and an attractive rendering of a young Apache girl who is well dressed in her outfit as she displays some Apache baskets and a handsome water jar. Very good condition.
