EDITORS COMMENTS
This half-length portrait, titled "Ben Long Ear," was captured by renowned American photographer Edward Sheriff Curtis around the year 1905. The image showcases Ben, a Native American man, gazing directly at the camera with a thoughtful expression. Ben is dressed in traditional clothing of the time, including a colorful dress and an intricately designed arm ring. His long, braided hair is adorned with feathers and beads, adding to the richness of his appearance. The photograph, which is held in the prestigious Library of Congress, is a testament to the cultural heritage and traditions of the North American Indian communities during the early 20th century. The sepia tone adds a timeless quality to the image, transporting us back to a different era. Edward Sheriff Curtis was a pioneering figure in documenting the lives and stories of Native American tribes through his photography. His work has been instrumental in preserving the history and traditions of these communities, making it an invaluable resource for scholars, historians, and anyone interested in American history. Ben Long Ear's portrait is a powerful reminder of the unique and diverse cultures that have shaped the United States, and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating our shared heritage.
