City Art Museum Number 5426:50. Original is carte de visite photograph. The subject is written in red ink on the reverse as follows: 1. Chief Barboncito 2. Chief Son 3. Chief wife. In another hand in pencil is written, "Taken by Wimar," but this seems improbable.
Biographical / Historical:
Date not recorded; ca. 1860's ?; carte de visite style photo possibly 1866-72 ?
Letter of September 24, 1975 (letter 76-636) from J. Lee Correll (Supervisor, Research Section, Museum and Research Department, The Navaho Tribe , Window Rock, Arizona 86515.) states that this is definitely a portrait of Manuelito and his wife. The third person is as yet unidentified. (PJR 12/75)
The wife is the same woman as City Art Museum Number 5427:49 (Negative Number 55770), evidently made at same time and captioned, "Mica se qui, Daughter in law to Chief Barboncito." However, the seated man does not resemble Negative 55766 of Barboncito. He does seem to resemble Manuelito (BAE Negatives 2390, 2410-c; note particularly the mouth) and the woman bears a striking resemblance to Manuelito's wife, Juanita (BAE Negatives 2391, 2410-c). The standing figure looks too old to be their son Manuelito Segundo, who was a young boy in 1874. (BAE Negatives 2392; 41106 D).

Local Note:
Blackmore Museum copy (A17/1482) is painted version of this photo. It is listed as Manuelita, wife and son. This illustration is on an Alexander Gardner mount.-12/30/77 pjr
Source print Navaho 4689 (negative 2442) is on an N. Brown & Sons carte. The other two photographs in that series (negatives 2413-A & -B) appear to have also been taken by Brown & Son. Comparison of props, style and general appearance suggests that negatives 55,766-55,771 were also taken by Brown. N. Brown & Son was a prominent studio opened in Santa Fe between 1866 and 1868 and last recorded in 1872.--pjf 1/78

City Art Museum Number 5426:46. Original sepia print is 5 1/8" x 3 1/4" on slightly larger mount. The subject above is written in red ink on the reverse. In another hand in pencil is written, "Taken by Wimar," but this seems improbable.
Biographical / Historical:
Date not later than 1870 (date of Barboncito's death); possibly 1866-1870.
Cf. BAE negative 2441, "Barban Cito or Little Beard," Jackson Catalog Number 786, (possibly by Shindler 1869, but not in Shindler Catalog, published 1867). [But there are some photos later than 1869 in that Catalog-P.F.] Seems not to resemble this man--at least no mustache. Correct spelling of name is presumably from "Barboncito," from barbon, 'full-bearded man.'
"The" Barboncito died in 1870, according to J. Lee Correll (Head of Field Research, Navaho Land Claims, Window Rock, Arizona.) who visited here 6/10/66. Therefore Negative 2441 (a young man) could not possibly be he, but could be his son.

Blackmore collection version is retouched or painted version. Image has initials, "E.H.M." Mount has notation, "Barboncite Chief of Navajoes by Mr Shepard". Shepard could be artist or photographer. In addition, Blackmore version is on a Gardner mount. --pjf 12/77
Photographs related to Cadete, a Mescalero Apache man, and other Southwest Native people. It includes studio portraits of Cadete, Cadete's daughters, and a woman wearing a blanket who is possibly also related to Cadete. Two portraits were made by N. Brown & Son. The collection also includes a stereograph by H. T. Heister of Colonel Frank W. Haskall and his wife with a group including Southwest Native people, possibly in Santa Fe. The photographs may have been collected by the Haskall family.
