Elias Atkinson Bonine was born in Lancaster, Pennsylvania in about 1843. Bonine had two brothers who were both photographers, Robert Atkinson Bonine (1836–1912) and Archibald Franklin Bonine (1846–1907). [1] He had a 1848 degree in phrenology from a school named the Professional Class in Practical Phrenology in New York City. [2]
Bonine was a prolific photographer of the indigenous peoples of North America, who he often staged in his photographs. He worked primarily in the carte-de-visite format. [3] His work differed from that of anthropologists and government survey photographers, as his intended audience was the general public. [1] He moved to California in 1876, and died in Pasadena, California in 1916. [3]
His work is included in the collections of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, [1] the Getty Museum, [4] and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. [5]

Robert Seldon Duncanson was a 19th-century American landscapist of European and African ancestry. Inspired by famous American landscape artists like Thomas Cole, Duncanson created renowned landscape paintings and is considered a second generation Hudson River School artist. Duncanson spent the majority of his career in Cincinnati, Ohio and helped develop the Ohio River Valley landscape tradition. As a free black man in antebellum America, Duncanson engaged the abolitionist community in America and England to support and promote his work. Duncanson is considered the first African-American artist to be internationally known. He operated in the cultural circles of Cincinnati, Detroit, Montreal, and London. The primary art historical debate centered on Duncanson concerns the role that contemporary racial issues played in his work. Some art historians, like Joseph D. Ketner, believe that Duncanson used racial metaphors in his artwork, while others, like Margaret Rose Vendryes, discourage viewers from approaching his art with a racialized perspective.
