Cheyenne Girl in Full Dress. Full-length seated albumen studio view. El Reno, Oklahoma Territory: Stevenson, [circa 1890]. Photographers' imprint & identification printed to mount recto. Modern pencil identification, “Southern Cheyenne/Later known as Lizzie Pendleton” to mount verso.

A full-length view of a Cheyenne girl, seated in a chair with a blanket thrown over the armrest and flowers in a vase behind her. Looking directly at the photographer’s lens, she wears a traditional dress beaded beautifully with bones and shells, while her feet are covered in moccasins. Adorned in jewelry, she wears various rings, bracelets, and earrings. Her hair is in two long braids falling past her shoulders and tied with ribbons. 

Taken by Stevenson, a stereophotographer in El Reno who specialized in capturing images of the Cheyenne people in Oklahoma territory (Mautz 345).
