Undated (ca. 1889-1907) Studio Card of Cloud Chief, of the Cheyenne.
4.25 inches x 6.5 inches. Photograph mounted on studio card, with imprint of the photographer, C.C. Stotz (Charles Christopher Stotz, 1851-1932) and location at El Reno, Oklahoma Territory below in green. Line framed in green as well. Labeled in pencil on verso, "Cloud Chief / Cheyenne / also known as Man on a Cloud." These details have been verified by us by comparison of other attributed images of Cloud Chief. Superb quality. A bright and fresh image with only the most trivial evidence of handling in the image or on the card. No bumps, bends, serious scratches or other impairments beyond microscopic handling wear. Cloud Chief is wearing his Benjamin Harrison Peace Medal, virtually Mint State at the time of this image which is clear enough for identification as to the specimen, if it had any identifying marks. Cloud Chief is a documented original recipient of a Harrison medal, one 18 distributed to the Arapahoe and Cheyenne in November 1890.
