Identified as Ground and Rosy ("Nosy") Ground by John C. Ewers, Senior Ethnologist, SI Department of Anthropology, by comparison with photo of portrait of Ground and his wife by Winold Reiss, painted in 1927. At that time their ages were given in the catalog ("American Indian Portraits by Winold Reiss in the Belmaison Galleries beginning April 14, 1928") are 92 for Ground and 73 for "Nosy" (see entry Number 26 of "Old Man Ground Medicine and his wife"). "Nosy" Ground was the last Blackfoot woman known to Ewers to have her nose cut off for infidelity. (This took place long before her marriage to Ground.)

For date cf. other photos taken in 1924 (negative Numbers 55540-542) where the couple looks about the same age. JCR
