This is a vintage photograph of a Native American man, likely taken in the late 19th century. The image is sepia-toned and mounted on a slightly yellowed card. The man is facing forward, with a serious expression. He has dark eyes, a strong jawline, and high cheekbones. His hair is long, dark, and straight, parted in the middle and falling to his shoulders. He is wearing a patterned shirt with a V-neck. The card has text printed at the bottom, which appears to be a certification stating that L. Heller has taken photographs of Modoc Indians who are prisoners under the charge of Capt. C. B. Throckmorton and Gen. Jeff. C. Davis. The card also includes the name of the photographer and the address of the Yosemite Art Gallery. The edges of the card have some wear and tear, consistent with its age.
