Description:With A Danish Photographer of Idaho Indians, Joanna Cohan Scherer rescues from oblivion a remarkable photographer—Benedicte Wrensted—who greatly contributed to the visual legacy of the Northern Shoshone, Lemhi, and Bannock (“Sho-Ban”) American Indian tribes. This beautifully designed volume reproduces a substantial number of Wrensted’s photographs, along with a detailed description of each image, including the names of the subjects, their biographical data, and an ethnographic analysis of their Native attire.Wrensted, a Danish immigrant, opened her photographic studio in Pocatello, Idaho, in 1895 and worked as a commercial photographer there until 1912. Not only did white residents of Pocatello frequent her business, but so did many Sho-Bans from the neighboring Fort Hall Indian Reservation, who came singly and with their families to have portraits made. Sometimes her Indian clients wore traditional Native clothing and sometimes western-style suits or dresses, but Wrensted allowed the choice to be their own.A Danish Photographer of Idaho Indians redresses decades of neglect by restoring both Wrensted and her Indian subjects to a place in history—Wrensted as a distinguished photographer and her clients as named persons.
