On the first postcard, the totem poles are standing on Front Street in Ketchikan, Alaska. On the four others, they are on Mission Street, in front of the souvenir shop belonging to Franck Billingsley, a jeweller who may have commissioned and purchased them from Sm’oogyit Niishluut, a well-known Ts’msyen carver, also called Chief Sidney Campbell. The totem poles were in the town of Ketchikan for many years before being bought by Georges Barbey in 1955 and transported to Geneva. L. Monot/MEG
