Tintype of man saluting against a backdrop of Grant's Tomb

Photographed BY

Unidentified

Caption

The unidentified man in this portrait wears elements of traditional Mexican and Native American dress involving a sombrero style hat and an elaborately decorated waist belt bordered in cowrie shells. Typical of Mexican charro style, the wide brimmed sombreros were also adopted by American Indians in the Southwest. Indigenous cultures across North America, including the Apache, Ute, Cheyenne, and Sioux, used cowries as embellishments for various garments., The man poses in an open-palmed salute while standing in front of a painted studio backdrop of Grant’s Tomb, the final resting place and memorial of Ulysses S. Grant and his wife. Multiple photography studios utilized backdrops depicting this landmark around the time of the memorial’s completion in New York in 1897.
