EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Banks," was captured by renowned American ethnographer and photographer Edward Sheriff Curtis in the year 1908. The image depicts a seated male figure, identified as Banks, from the Absaroka or Apsáalooke tribe, native to Montana, United States of America. Banks is dressed in traditional attire, adorned with a magnificent feathered headdress and several intricately designed necklaces. His intense gaze directly into the camera adds an air of authenticity and connection to the viewer. The photograph is an essential contribution to the anthropological and ethnographic record of the American West during the early 20th century. Curtis' work was instrumental in documenting the clothing, customs, and heritage of various indigenous communities, providing valuable insights into their cultures and histories. This gelatin silver print is a testament to the richness and diversity of the indigenous peoples of America, whose traditions and ways of life were rapidly changing during this period. The image is a poignant reminder of the significance of preserving cultural heritage and the importance of understanding and appreciating the unique histories and traditions of various communities. The Banks portrait, with its striking composition and intricate details, continues to captivate audiences and inspire curiosity about the people and stories of the American West.
