American Indian Red Velvet Photo Book Of Indians

The Meekins Collection

A striking late 19th century to circa 1900 red velvet photo book containing twenty seven early photographs of American Indians. The rich red velvet cover gives the album a dramatic and tactile presence, characteristic of the period.

The book retains an engraved silver ornament mounted to the front cover, added at a later date to enhance its North American Indian aesthetic.

A compelling historical album, offering a glimpse into early photographic documentation and a unique addition for collectors of Native American material culture and antique photography.
