EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Acoma, New Mexico area views' by Arnold Genthe, captures the scenic beauty and unique architecture of the Acoma Pueblo in Cibola County, New Mexico, between 1899 and 1928. The image transports us back in time to the early 20th century, showcasing the adobe houses and mud-brick structures that have been the traditional housing of the Acoma Pueblo people for centuries. The photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of this indigenous community, with chickens and other farm animals roaming freely around the houses and ladders leaning against the exterior walls. The buildings, with their distinctive red-brown hues, are arranged in a seemingly haphazard yet harmonious manner, reflecting the organic growth of the community. The photograph was taken during the 1910s or 1920s, a time when the United States was undergoing rapid modernization. Yet, the Acoma Pueblo, nestled in the rugged terrain of New Mexico, remained a bastion of tradition and heritage. The image serves as a reminder of the rich cultural history that exists in the United States, and the importance of preserving it for future generations. This photograph is part of the extensive collection of the Library of Congress, and was captured using a nitrate negative process, a popular photographic technique of the time. The image's stark contrast between the white and black tones adds to its timeless appeal, making it a valuable addition to any collection of American history or heritage art.
