EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, estimated to date between 1900 and 1916, depicts a young girl in traditional turn-of-the-century apparel, standing in front of an Alaskan backdrop. The girl, with her long braids plaited over one shoulder, wears a simple dress and appears hopeful as she reaches out to offer food to a curious and anticipating bear cub. The bear, chained and in captivity, stands on its hind leg, its large paw extended in the direction of the girl, as if in a moment of stillness before the meeting of frontiers. The image, reminiscent of the American frontier and the wild, untamed beauty of the Alaskan wilderness, captures the essence of the North American heritage. The girl's expression conveys a sense of awe and wonder, as she stands in the great outdoors, surrounded by the raw power and majesty of nature. The Library of Congress, located in Washington D.C., holds this historic photograph as part of its extensive collection, a testament to the rich history of the United States and its people.
