- Lot Description
Albumen carte de visite of Gabriel Dumont holding a heavy caliber Ballard rolling block rifle, stamp identification on mount recto and verso, with "J.D. Quint, Photographer, Week's Block, Manchester, NH" backmark.
Dumont (1837-1908) is best known as a leader of the Metis, a mixed Indian/French peoples of Western Canada. Along with Louis Riel, Dumont was a principal character in the struggle of the Metis with the Canadian Government in their efforts to gain control of their destiny. In 1885, Dumont was named "Adjutant General of the Metis people" during the so-called "Northwest Rebellion." When the rebellion was quelled by the government, Dumont fled to the United States and joined Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show for the 1886 season. This photo was apparently taken during the tour. Dumont returned to Canada in 1889 and lived on his old homestead until his death.Light, even toning. Very fine condition overall.Condition
