F.A. Rinehart
In 1898, and in occasion of the Trans-Mississippi and International
Exposition, James Mooney of the U.S. Bureau of Ethnology commissioned Omaha
native Frank A. Rinehart to photograph the event and the Native American
personalities. More than five hundred American Indians from thirty-five tribes
attended the exposition in Omaha. Together with his assistant Adolph Muhr (who
would later be employed by the famous photographer Edward S. Curtis), they
produced what is now considered "one of the best photographic
documentations of Indian leaders at the turn of the century".
Rinehart and Muhr photographed American Indians in a studio on the Exposition
grounds with an 8 x 10 glass-negative; platinum prints were produced to achieve
the broad range of tonal values that medium afforded. After the Omaha Congress,
Rinehart and Muhr traveled the Indian reservations for two years, portraying
Native American leaders who had not attended the event, as well as depicting
general aspects of the indigenous everyday life and culture.
