EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Chemehuevi Mother and Child," was captured by renowned American ethnographer Edward Sheriff Curtis around 1907. The image offers a poignant glimpse into the intimate bond between a Chemehuevi mother and her young child, as they sit in a tranquil outdoor setting. The mother, dressed in traditional Chemehuevi attire, wears a colorful head dress adorned with intricate beadwork and feathers, while a blanket draped over her shoulders keeps both of them warm. The child, clad in simple clothing, gazes intently at his mother's face, his tiny hands clasped together in her larger ones. The mother, in turn, looks away from the camera, her direct gaze focused on her offspring, conveying a deep sense of love and nurturing. This poignant moment in time serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Chemehuevi people and the enduring bond between mother and child. The photograph, now part of the vast collection at the Library of Congress, offers a valuable contribution to the fields of anthropology and ethnology, capturing a moment in history that might otherwise have been lost to time.
