EDITORS COMMENTS
Acoma, New Mexico: A Glimpse into the Past (1899-1928) This photograph, captured between 1899 and 1928 by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe, offers a captivating view of the Acoma Pueblo area in Cibola County, New Mexico. The image transports us back in time, inviting us to witness the unique beauty and heritage of this historic community. The scene is dominated by the distinctive adobe buildings, their mud bricks arranged in intricate patterns, standing proud against the desert backdrop. The structures, which have been a part of the Acoma Pueblo's rich history for centuries, exude a sense of resilience and continuity. In the foreground, a young man, dressed in traditional clothing, is seen walking along a dusty street. He carries a mule, its load balanced gracefully, adding to the sense of authenticity and local charm. The presence of mules, a common mode of transport in the region during this period, further emphasizes the rural character of the scene. The photograph, taken during the 1910s or 1920s, is a testament to the enduring spirit of the Acoma people and their connection to their land. This image, now part of the collections at the Library of Congress, serves as an invaluable record of a bygone era and a reminder of the diverse cultural heritage of the United States. Arnold Genthe, a prolific photographer known for his portraits and documentary work, skillfully captured the essence of this moment in time, offering us a glimpse into the lives of the people of Acoma Pueblo during the early 20th century.
