Shoshone Native American Woman with Baby in Papoose, 1917 Real Photo Postcard whirlygig The basket measures 9 1/4"An absolutely wonderful image I think, with marvelously specific details packed into every inch. And how beautiful is this mother beaded leather satchel in one hand and her other arm wrapped protectively around the frame of the papoose with her head turned toward something or someone outside of the frame and her baby looking, much more fretfully, in exactly the same direction! To my eye, striking and funny and tender and true all at once. Postmarked
