A photogravure portrait of Red Cloud, the Oglala Lakota chief, photographed by Edward S. Curtis and published as plate 103 in volume 3 of "The North American Indian" (1908), with the print itself produced by John Andrew and Son. Red Cloud is shown in traditional dress in a formal studio-style pose, one of thousands of portraits Curtis made of named individuals across many Indigenous nations for the project; it documents a specific historical leader's likeness and regalia, not any closed ceremony or ritual practice.
