Albumen photograph depicting Standing Bear, an Omaha warrior, posed outdoors at the Jardin Zoologique d'Acclimatation in the Bois de Boulogne, Paris. Standing Bear is shown in traditional dress, wearing a single feather and bead necklaces, holding a pipe or staff, and resting his arm on a saddled horse. The composition places him prominently in the foreground, with trees softly rendered in the background, a typical outdoor setting used by French photographers documenting visiting Indigenous delegations during the late nineteenth century.

The mount is printed with Jardin Zoologique d'Acclimatation at top and Bois de Boulogne at bottom, with photographer credit Perré, Petit photo., 29 & 31 Place Cadet, Paris. The verso bears a period handwritten identification reading “Standing Bear, Omaha Warrior,” confirming the subject. Photographs made at the Jardin d'Acclimatation are historically significant, reflecting the European practice of exhibiting Indigenous peoples during international tours and cultural expositions.

A strong, documentary image with clear identification, combining Native American history, European ethnographic photography, and late nineteenth-century Parisian studio practice.
