This is a vintage photograph of a Native American man, likely taken in the late 19th century. The image is an oval-shaped portrait, with the man facing directly at the camera. He has dark hair, high cheekbones, and a serious expression. He is wearing a dark jacket with a row of buttons down the front. The photograph has a sepia tone, typical of older prints. Below the portrait is a printed text block with the title 'Curly-Headed Doctor'. It includes a certification stating that L. Heller took the photograph of the Modoc Indian prisoner under the charge of Capt. C. B. Throcmorton, 4th U.S. Artillery, Officer of the Day, and Gen. Jeff. C. Davis, U.S.A., who is cognizant of the fact. The edges of the photograph are decorated with a border of text, indicating it was copyrighted and registered with the Library of Congress in 1879.
