Miss Kedumake, Circassian
Beautiful portrait of this Circassian with huge snake who looks nearly straight at the camera wistfully, knowingly. Same perfromer as on as #2270, same photo session, on same uncommon mount "OBERMULLER & KERN, CABINET PORTRAIT, 388 Bowery." On verso: Signed(?) "Miss Kedumake [?] from Yalen [?], snake charmer, age 26"
