EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Acoma, New Mexico area views' by Arnold Genthe, captures a glimpse into the daily life of the Acoma Pueblo community between 1899 and 1928. The image showcases the stunning landscape of the Cibola County in New Mexico, United States, with the traditional adobe structures of the pueblo perched atop a mesa. Three local people, two women and a girl, are depicted in the foreground, engaging in an unknown activity. The girl, dressed in traditional Native American clothing, looks directly at the camera with an inquisitive gaze, while the women seem to be focused on their task. The community's strong sense of heritage and connection to the land is palpable, as the people continue to live in harmony with the rugged terrain. Arnold Genthe, a renowned American photographer, captured this moment using a nitrate negative process, which was a popular method during the early 20th century. The image's stark contrasts and intricate details bring the scene to life, transporting viewers back in time. The Lenfance Collection at the Library of Congress houses this precious piece of history, preserving it for future generations to appreciate and learn from. This photograph offers a unique window into the lives of the Acoma people during the 1910s and 1920s, showcasing their resilience and the enduring beauty of their community.
