Name/Title
Butcher or Fur Trader, circa 1900Description
Two related photographs show a man standing outside his shop with a deer hide slung over his shoulder, and a group gathered inside surrounded by pelts, mounted heads, and tools of the trade. The mix of aprons, antlers, and cured hides blurs the line between butcher, fur trader, and taxidermist. Likely taken around 1895–1905, the paired images capture the dignity of everyday work and the close overlap between domestic and commercial life.Made/Created
