Two Men in Native American Dress with Revolver and Bow — Wm. H. Jackson, Omaha, Nebraska

A studio stereoview mounted on yellow card with rounded corners. Two men face the camera, one seated with a revolver across his lap, the other standing with a long bow and several arrows. Both wear necklaces with circular pendants. The standing man wears a patterned shirt and a feathered head wrapping; a dark decorative motif runs down the seated man's robe.

Painted trees and a balustrade provide the setting, with rocks, dried vegetation and draped material arranged across the studio floor. The paired photographs preserve clear detail in the faces, clothing and weapons. The sitters, their affiliations, the studio location and the date remain unidentified.

The otherwise unprinted reverse bears the pencil inscriptions “W. H. Jackson” and “Armed with revolver!” The name may represent a photographer attribution, but it is in an unidentified hand and is not supported by a maker's imprint. Neither inscription can be dated from the scans.

A small dark blemish appears near the lower inner edge of the right-hand image. A separate pencil condition note reports “bubbling” beneath that image; its extent cannot be established from the flat scan. Otherwise the card appears sound, with no major tears or losses visible.
