Albumen CDV by Smith & Son, Brantford C.W. (Canada West, now Ontario).
A curious CDV of a man in extraordinary dress.
Full-length studio portrait of a confidently posed man with European features, wearing an extraordinary outfit of mixed First Nations and European influence. A fringed buckskin jacket and pants are complemented by beaded moccasins and a flamboyant plumed hat. He wears a collared shirt and tie under the jacket, but also an elaborate hunting bag and arm bands, and holds an inlaid pipe tomahawk in one hand. The location of the studio in Brantford, named for Mohawk leader John Brant, suggests the man may be affiliated with one of the Six Nations of Iroquois that lived in the area, or perhaps a Metis trader.
