| Title | Infant asleep in a sling, Alaska, ca. 1905 |
| Studio Name | Winter & Pond |
| Studio Location | United States--Alaska--Juneau |
| Date | ca. 1905 |
| Notes | Indian babies made popular subjects for commercial photographers, and Winter & Pond produced this image as a Christmas card. The child, wearing a cap covered with buttons, snuggles into a birchbark sling rigged with a rocking mechanism. The style of the cap appears Tlingit, but the infant's moccasins and the sling are probably of Athabaskan origin.
Caption on cardboard photo mount: "Alaska slumberland."
Photographers Lloyd V. Winter and Percy E. Pond opened their Juneau, Alaska, studio in 1893, and documented the people and places of southeastern Alaska until the mid-1940s. (Victoria Wyatt, Images from the Inside Passage: An Alaskan Portrait by Winter & Pond, pp. 13-14.) |
