"Dr. Kane and the Esquimaux" (View by C. Seaver)

These wax figures were apparently part of an exhibit then on display at the Smithsonian; they are likely the work of New Haven artist Sydney Moulthrop (1802-1880), who was known for his wax figures of the survivors of the Amistad, as well as of a variety of Native American subjects, including Chief Red Cloud and Hall's guides Ebierbing ("Joe") and Tookoolito ("Hannah").
