Indian folk lore
Indian Folk Lore is a 1921 folklore booklet by Charles E. Brown, published by the State Historical Museum in Madison, Wisconsin, aimed at readers interested in North American Indigenous stories and traditions. The single picture is a black-and-white studio portrait of a woman with long dark hair, wearing a patterned woven blouse and a beaded necklace, set against a dark backdrop. A designer might take its soft tonal lighting and plain head-and-shoulders framing as a model for period portraiture.
