EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Acoma, New Mexico area views' by Arnold Genthe, captures the breathtaking landscape of the Acoma Pueblo and surrounding desert terrain between 1899 and 1928. Located in Cibola County, New Mexico, USA, the image showcases the unique geological features of the area, including the mesa and cliffs, which have been a source of fascination for geologists and visitors alike. The Acoma Pueblo, also known as Sky City, is a historic Native American community perched atop a 365-foot high mesa. The people of Acoma, who have inhabited the area for over 800 years, are known for their rich cultural heritage and traditional ways of life. Genthe's photograph offers a glimpse into the past, with the image of a lone figure in the foreground adding a sense of scale to the vast and arid landscape. The background is filled with the intriguing rock formations and cliff faces that characterize the region. This nitrate negative, now held in the Library of Congress, is a testament to the enduring beauty and scientific significance of the American Southwest. The image invites us to reflect on the history and geology of this unique place, as well as the people who have called it home for generations.
