Description
Livingston, MT: C.E. & Hattie King, 1900. Silver gelatin photograph [18 cm x 13 cm] / [7" x 5"] matted and in a wooden frame [30 cm x 25 cm] / [12" x 10"] In nice condition with good contrasts. Manuscript note on the reverse of the photograph: "Order from numbers on back of print. Can supply any order desired at 50 cts. ea. Address Livingston, Mont. Your friend C.E. King." Full portrait of Plenty Coups (c.1848-1932) in a war bonnet standing in front of a teepee. Plenty Coups was a chief of the Crow Nation and the Grand Chief of the Indian Commission. Plenty Coos won his way to a chieftain according to the custom of the old time Indians long before there were any reservations. Formally he was the head of the division known as the Mountain Crows, and on consolidation of the tribes became head chief of all. C.E. (Charles) and Hattie King were photographers in Tacoma in the latter part of the 19th century. Charles King was hired by Northern Pacific in the 1870s to photograph land where the tracks were to be laid between Livingston and Tacoma. In the 1880s, Charles and Hattie were hired to photograph local churches, residences, and ships. Charles was known for being one of the earliest photographers to capture an image of Mount Rainier. Charles King would go on to serve as a Tacoma Police Captain.
