Quanah Parker and Friends at The Quake Indian School, 1890

William J. Lenny and William L. Sawyers operated a photography studio in the town of Purcell in Indian Territory, circa. 1889-1991. These two entrepreneurs photographed the Indian tribes who lived on the Kiowa-Comanche-Apache (K-C-A) and Wichita-Caddo reservations, and marketed their portraits of “wild Indians” – including tribal chiefs, braves and women and children – to “curiosity seekers” back east.

This print was made from original glass negatives taken in Oklahoma Indian Territory, Circa 1890 and is part of series of 129 indian and frontier scenes offered for sale around the turn of the century.
