This is a vintage photograph of a Native American man named Schonchin, a Modoc prisoner. The image is a bust-length portrait, showing him from the chest up. He has long, dark hair that is parted on the side and falls to his shoulders. His face is weathered with deep lines, and he has a stern expression. He is wearing a dark coat and a white bandanna around his neck. The photograph is mounted on a card with text at the bottom. The text includes his name, 'SCHONCHIN,' and a certification by Capt. C. B. Throckmorton, 4th U.S. Artillery, stating that the photograph is of the Modoc prisoner under his charge. It also includes the name of Gen. Jeff. C. Davis, U.S.A. The card also indicates that the photograph was published by Watkins, Yosemite Art Gallery, 22 & 24 Montgomery St., opp. Lick House. The image has a sepia tone, typical of photographs from that era. The card has decorative borders and text in a vintage font.
