Image
Quarter-length studio portrait of a woman in Ho-Chunk regalia wrapped in a blanket, with a child on her back. The child is wearing a fur hat, and the woman is wearing long earrings and a necklace. They are posing sitting in front of a painted backdrop. Clara Kingsley (Big) Blackhawk (KeesKawWinKah) carries her son Andrew John (Big) Blackhawk (WaConChaHoNoKah) on her back. Using a shawl as a back sling was a common way to carry infants in this period.
