| Notes | A young man and woman dressed in European-style clothing pose for the camera in a Yakima-area photographer's studio. The woman wears a simple beaded necklace and carries a valuable possession, a Plateau-style beaded bag with floral designs. The young man holds a woolen Pendleton blanket and wears a dress shirt, elaborate necktie, and hat.
The Yakama, Nez Perce, Spokane, and other Plateau tribes of Washington state live east of the Cascade Range in the area drained by the Columbia River.
Thomas H. Rutter, a British veterinarian, came to the United States from Australia in the late 1860s. After photographing in Montana in the 1870s and 1880s, and Tacoma, Washington, in the 1890s, Rutter opened a studio in North Yakima (now Yakima). He retired around 1906 and died in 1925. (Steven L.
