Vintage Color Photograph of a Native American |

As a boy, I often visited with My great grandmother. She was born in 1883, and grew up in Camp San Saba on the Texas Frontier. She told me wonderful stories of her childhood. She told of how it was common for Native Americans to show up at her house. She would look out the window, and see them outside watering their horses at the trough. She said that while there was never any big problems, it was always a tense time, since there were always stories of conflicts between the Natives and the white settlers in the area. As I remember her telling me these stories, I really long for those days, and I think of all the questions I wish I had asked her. Did she ever speak with one of the Indians? Did they ever trade with the Indians. So many things that I wish I had asked her, but I was just a little boy, and I had no way of knowing at the time what a rare privilege it was to hear first hand accounts of the Texas frontier. These stories from my great grandmother helped to spur my interests in history and Native American culture. I have enjoyed collecting artifacts and images of Native Americans. The photograph below was taken in about 1900. The original black and white image was hand tinted by an unknown artist, creating this haunting image. I am happy to be able to offer Archival Grade Fine Art prints of this incredible photograph. Each is printed on Archival Grade velvet fine art paper, with 100 year ink. The prints will offer you a lifetime of enjoyment, and will be treasured by generations to come. Each print is individually created, and will make a stunning display when framed and placed in your home or office.
We are pleased to make this image available, and are hopeful that there is an option that is within any budget. We also hope that you enjoy browsing the photographs, even if you decide not to buy. Our main desire is that you will join us in developing an appreciation for Native American culture and history, and that you will share in our love for vintage photographs.

You can see that this is one of the photographs which I have on display in my own office. I enjoy mixing photographs of Cowboys, Indians, and then a few western landscapes. The safe in the left of the photograph was made in 1896, and belonged to my Grandfather. I enjoy creating a "Old West" theme in my office, and I think the Native American photographs help create this theme. My wife calls the office the "Man Room". It was the one room in the house I was given free reign to decorate. No flower prints or pastels in this room. It has all the things I love, and is a wonderful place to work. We are sure you will enjoy this fine vintage print. This is one of the prints which I display in my own office. You Might Also Enjoy these Images.(Click on Thumbnail to be taken to that Photograph)
