A historically significant carte de visite portrait of Native American Sioux leader Wa-Kan-O-Zhan-Zhan (Medicine Bottle), captured by the renowned photographer Joel Whitney at his gallery in St. Paul, Minnesota. This image dates back to the period following the Dakota War of 1862, during which Medicine Bottle was a key figure. As a leader involved in the uprising, Medicine Bottle was later sentenced to death at Fort Snelling, making this portrait a poignant reminder of the tragic and tumultuous events of the time. This portrait depicts Medicine Bottle in a contemplative pose, with his hands clasped, and a solemn expression on his face. The reverse side of the card features the mark of Whitney's Gallery, along with a rare 2-cent proprietary tax stamp, indicative of the era.
