Roland W. Reed (American, 1864-1934). Gelatin silver print photograph titled "Moose Call - Ojibwe," depicting a figure in a canoe with a roll of birch bark to imitate the call of a moose. Photograph originally taken ca. 1908. Signed in negative and in pencil along the lower left. Inscription along verso reads: the moose call - Ojibway - copyrighted by R.W. Reed - copyright renewed by R.F. Williams.
The image was described by Roland Reed in his journals as thus:
The Indians of long ago could imitate the call or cry of any animal or bird. This Indian has a roll of birch bark and is "calling the moose." A moose may be feeding back in the woods, and, hearing what seems to be the call of his mate, may answer. Then he will start for the lake from where he thinks the call came, and where he thinks his mate will be drink-ing, or feeding on lily pads. The Indian hunters will be hiding in the brush on the lake shore, and, when the moose appears, they will try to get in a telling shot with their stone-tipped arrows. If they are success-ful, the camp will have a “"moose-meat feed." This Indian's name was Ke-ne-we-gwon-ay-aush, or Eagle-Feather-Wind.
Sight; height: 19 in x width: 15 in. Framed; height: 20 3/4 in x width: 17 in x depth: 1 in.
There are no visible tears, creases, or major losses. A few areas of skimming, mainly along the lower center edge. An area of discoloration along the lower right corner, possibly water damage. There is a slight undulation to the sheet throughout. The work is framed under glass; light wear to the frame. The work has not been inspected out of frame.
