Framed Print of Two Moons at Fort Keogh in 1879 by L.
A. Huffman with Color Stencils - This print by legendary
Montana photographer Laton Alton Huffman (1854-1931) is
marked with a 1913 dated Huffman copyright in the bottom
right. The print itself shows Cheyenne Chief Two-Moons at
Fort Keogh c. 1878 in full traditional battle dress. Two-Moons
was one of the chiefs that led the native warriors in the
Battle of Little Big Horn against the United States Army. Also
included are two heavy cardstock color stencils Huffman
would’ve used to hand color prints. The first stencil was to
add red to the war bonnet and the second to add green to
the cloak. The framed print measures approximately 16 1/2
x 14 1/4 inches including the frame, and the two stencils
measure 11 x 9 1/4 inches.
CONDITION: The print is very fine with distinct image, no
noticeable fading, and a few scattered small brown stains
near the top. The frame is fine with some scattered minor
handling/storage marks. The stencils are fine with some
minor tearing around the edges and otherwise minimal
wear. A very interesting set of pieces by the
legendary L. A. Huffman!
Provenance: The John Fox Collection.
