Gertrude Käsebier Sioux Portraits

Many of ground-breaking photographer Gertrude Käsebier's portrait subjects were working and traveling with William "Buffalo Bill" Cody’s Wild West shows, at the turn of the 20th century. She photographed her Sioux subjects for over 10 years, both on the reservation and in her 5th Avenue studio in New York City.
