EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, captured between 1899 and 1928 by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe, showcases a breathtaking view of the Acoma Pueblo and surrounding landscape in Cibola County, New Mexico, United States. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the early 20th century and the rich cultural heritage of this Native American community. Nestled atop a 365-foot mesa, Acoma Pueblo is a National Historic Landmark and a significant tourist attraction, drawing visitors from around the world. The pueblo, also known as Sky City, is home to the Acoma people, who have inhabited the area for over 800 years. Genthe's photograph captures the unique geographical features of the area, including the rugged, rocky terrain and the striking contrast between the dark, intricately designed pueblo structures and the lighter, sandy desert landscape. The image also highlights the impressive rock formations that surround the pueblo, adding to the sense of isolation and mystery. As a pioneering photographer, Genthe was known for his innovative use of nitrate negatives, which allowed for greater detail and tonal range in his images. This photograph, from the extensive Genthe Collection held at the Library of Congress, is a testament to his skill and vision, providing a valuable record of a bygone era and a reminder of the enduring beauty and history of the American Southwest.
