    1880s FULL Cabinet Image of Chief Sitting Bull by Dave Rodocker
    Offered a rare B & W cabinet photo on photographer' mat D. Rodocker Winfield Kansas measuring approx. 6 1/2 x 4 1/4 FULL body image of a CHIEF SITTING BULL.  Image is nicely clear showing the chief IN FULL ceremonial attire with feather bonnet, robe boots and holding a wooden stone axe. Overall in very good condition of a rare image.   Controversy exists about this image as some historians feel Rodocker is said to have stolen this image from fellow photographer, D. F. Barry.
    Images of this rarity's from the 1880s seldom exist especially of this great Sioux Chief.
    This photographic image was part of a collection purchased from a government Indian agent's estate who lived with his family in numerous mid western states in the 1880s through his death in the early 1900s.  He knew personally photographer David Rodocker who gave him this image along with others.  Many of the images have notes he wrote on the reverse and front and a few have actually been signed by the Indians pictured.  I have numerous images listed check them out.  They are very rare and some unknown  D. RODOCKER was the oldest established photographer in Cowley County, Kansas, and his headquarters were at Winfield,  In January 1877, Rodocker sold his Winfield studio and took his camera on the road to the Black Hills, spending the summer producing views of the mines and mining towns. He departed the Black Hills in October 1877, apparently heading south and passing through the Red Cloud Agency in northwestern Nebraska where he produced several additional photographs.  Sitting Bull in full headdress. Rodocker is said to have stolen this image from fellow photographer, D. F. Barry. -
