EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait, titled "The Daughter of Bad Horses (profile)" was captured by renowned American photographer Edward Sheriff Curtis around 1905. The Cheyenne girl in the image gazes off to the left with an enigmatic expression, her profile framed by a stunning headdress and intricately beaded cloak. The headdress, adorned with vibrant feathers and beads, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Plains Indians. The girl's clothing is a blend of traditional and contemporary styles, with a delicate beaded dress peeking out from beneath her cloak. Her hair is adorned with a hairpipe, a common accessory in Native American cultures. The intricate beadwork and embroidery on her dress and headdress are evidence of the painstaking craftsmanship and artistic skill of the Cheyenne people. Edward Sheriff Curtis was a pioneering ethnographer and photographer who dedicated his life to documenting the lives and cultures of Native American tribes. His work, which includes thousands of photographs, films, and manuscripts, is an invaluable resource for anthropologists, historians, and anyone interested in the history and heritage of the indigenous peoples of North America. This portrait, now held in the Library of Congress, is a poignant reminder of the rich cultural traditions that once flourished on the Great Plains and beyond. The girl's strong, proud gaze and the beauty of her headdress and cloak serve as a testament to the resilience and creativity of the Cheyenne people and their enduring connection to their land and their history.
