A rare cabinet card captures the legendary Apache leader Geronimo donning his ceremonial war bonnet. Produced by E.W. Longston, a prominent photographer based in Lawton, Oklahoma, this photograph is an evocative representation of one of the most famous figures in Native American history. Geronimo’s stoic expression and elaborate feathered headdress reflect his enduring spirit and the cultural significance of his people.

The card itself is in good condition, with light age-related toning on the mount. The photograph bears a "Copyrighted" stamp across the image, emphasizing its significance as an original print. Beneath the image is an embossed title reading: “GERONIMO in his famous war bonnet, Copyrighted by E.W. Longston, Lawton, Okla.”
