EDITORS COMMENTS
Lies Sideway: A Portrait of a Crow Man by Edward S. Curtis, 1908 This head-and-shoulders portrait, titled "Lies Sideway," was captured by renowned American photographer Edward Sheriff Curtis in 1908. The subject is a Crow man from the Absaroka people, native to Montana, United States of America, in North America. The black-and-white image showcases the man's strong, stoic gaze as he looks directly at the camera. The Crow man is dressed in traditional Apsáalooke clothing, which includes a braided dress and a necklace. His hair is styled in braids, a common practice among the Crow people. The intricate details of his apparel and accessories reflect the rich cultural heritage of the Crow tribe. Curtis, an influential ethnographer and photographer, documented various Native American tribes during the early 20th century. His work, including "Lies Sideway," is a significant contribution to the field of anthropology and ethnology, providing valuable insights into the lives and customs of indigenous peoples in America. This portrait, now part of the collections at the Library of Congress, not only captures the essence of a man but also serves as a reminder of the diverse and vibrant cultures that have shaped the American West. The historic image invites us to appreciate the beauty and complexity of the human experience and the importance of preserving our cultural heritage.
