Title: Plenty Coups
Author: King, Charles E.
Seller: Tschanz Rare Books (United States)
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.

Title: LGBTQ+ Representation in European Cinema, Mädchen in Uniform Lobby Card and Postcard Archive, 1958
Author: Christa Winsloe Mädchen In Uniform
Seller: Max Rambod Inc. (United States)
Description: 1958. Schneider, Romy (subject). Mädchen in Uniform photograph archive, 1958, documents early cinematic representation of same-sex desire in European film, focusing on one of the first narrative works to depict lesbian relationships within an institutional setting. The material provides primary visual evidence of how female intimacy, authority, and repression were portrayed on screen, supporting research into LGBTQ+ film history, censorship, and postwar European cultural production. Mädchen in Uniform (Girls in Uniform). Directed by Géza von Radványi. France / West Germany, 1958. Archive of 9 photographic items, including 8 original real photo postcards and 1 original photograph. The images prominently feature Romy Schneider in various roles and settings from the film, including portraits in school uniform and staged scenes emphasizing the regimented environment of the girls' institution. One Romanian-captioned postcard ("Fete in Uniforma") depicts Schneider in a masculine suit and bowtie, visually engaging with gender presentation and performance. Another image shows Schneider with fellow students leaning from a balcony, while a larger group scene presents rows of uniformed students with Schneider centered among them, reinforcing themes of conformity and individuality. A separate photograph features co-star Lilli Palmer in formal dress, highlighting contrasting adult authority figures within the narrative. The compositions emphasize costume, posture, and group arrangement, central to the film's depiction of discipline and emotional tension. This archive emerges from a period when LGBTQ+ themes were heavily regulated in international cinema, with Mädchen in Uniform continuing the legacy of its 1931 predecessor by presenting a same-sex relationship within a boarding school context. Its delayed release in the United States reflects the constraints of the Motion Picture Production Code, which limited explicit portrayals of homosexuality in American distribution. The film's inclusion in the Berlin International Film Festival underscores its recognition within global cinema despite such restrictions. Minor wear consistent with handling; overall very good condition. A cohesive visual record of early lesbian representation and gender expression in postwar European film.
