content: These two small prints are mounted on similar cards, that of one bearing the name of C. A. Zimmerman, photographer. Both are attributed to Zimmerman, who, in 1869, purchased the studio of Whitney, which had been established some years. The negatives may have been made by Whitney, and although the prints are catalogued as Ojibway (Chippewa) habitations, nevertheless, the elm-bark wigwam resembles more closely the Siouan type, with an arbor over the entrance, and the photograph may have been made in a Sioux village. The dwellings are quite similar to the Winnebago structure shown in Plate 36-a (Bulletin 77).
