Chippewa Girl

 

 

Although this postcard was printed in Holland by Unlimited, it reproduces a 1904 photo made by Alfred S Campbell (1840-1912). Campbell emigrated from England and had a NY studio, with some of his work held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Unfortunately, like many photos of Native women produced at the time, this subject is not identified. Her dress and moccasins may be studio props as they are more Plains in style. She is seated on a Great Lakes woven mat.
