| Title | Man and woman, possibly Suquamish, seated inside a Seattle building, ca. 1910 |
| Studio Name | Webster & Stevens |
| Studio Location | United States--Washington (State)--Seattle |
| Date | ca. 1910 |
| Notes | Although the photographers did not identify this couple or the location, it is possible that they are Suquamish, waiting in Seattle's federal courthouse. At approximately the same time, a group of Suquamish were photographed at Seattle's Colman Dock returning home to the Port Madison Reservation, west of Seattle, after trying to collect payments for land sold to the government.
Photographers Ira Webster and Nelson Stevens opened their Seattle studio in 1902. They were the official photographers for The Seattle Times for 23 years, beginning in 1906, and also did extensive commercial photography work in Seattle and King County. Webster retired in 1925 and died in 1942; and Stevens died around 1930. (Firm stationery; Charles T. Hommel, A Guide to Historical Photograph Collections in Seattle, p. 46.) |
