This is a vintage photograph of a Native American man, identified as "Scar-Face Charley" in the text below the image. The photo is sepia-toned and appears to be a carte de visite, a small photograph mounted on a card. The man is facing forward, with a serious expression. He has prominent cheekbones and a long, straight nose. His most striking feature is a series of scars that run down his left cheek, giving him his nickname. He is wearing a fur hat with a decorative band, and a dark, buttoned coat. The coat appears to be made of a heavy material, possibly wool or leather. The background is a plain, neutral tone. Below the image, there is text that identifies the man and includes a certification from Captain G. B. Throopmorton, 4th U.S. Artillery, and General Jeff. C. Davis, U.S.A. The text also indicates that the photograph was taken in 1872 and published by Watkins, Yosemite Art Gallery. The photograph has some signs of age, including scratches and discoloration, but it is generally well-preserved. The image is a historical document that provides a glimpse into the life of a Native American man during the 19th century.
