content: This composite photograph was used as a model for the 1899 issue of the five dollar silver certificate. The portrait of Running Antelope is taken from BAE Negative 3184-a, a photograph taken in 1872 by Alexander Gardner. According to information in the Bureau of Engraving, the bonnet was photographed at the Smithsonian by Thomas W. Smillie. (The headdress on the original picture was considered too high to "fit" the proposed engraving.)
