II. 14 Reproduction of photograph of one of the Sequah medicine men; Dover, [189-?] This undated photograph shows one of the Sequah medicine men, taken in Dover. The marketing of Sequah products was very much based on showmanship, with the salesmen's attire being an integral part of the image. An account from a Sequah book- let describes how gilded carriage, band and attendants arrayed in picturesque Cowboy costumes and feathered headgear arrived in towns and cities to sell Sequah medicines.
