EDITORS COMMENTS
This head-and-shoulders portrait captures the stoic gaze of Lone Tree, an Apsaroke Indian, as he faces right against a plain background. The photograph, taken by renowned ethnographer Edward Sheriff Curtis around 1908, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Plains Indians during the early 20th century. Lone Tree wears traditional Apsaroke apparel, including a fringed dress adorned with intricate beadwork and a feathered headdress. The dress, which hangs loosely from his shoulders, is a testament to the intricate craftsmanship and artistic expression of the Crow people. The headdress, with its vibrant plumes, adds a regal and majestic quality to the portrait. The image, a poignant reminder of a bygone era, invites us to reflect on the history and traditions of the indigenous peoples of North America. The portrait also serves as an important anthropological and ethnographic record, offering insights into the clothing, culture, and customs of the Apsaroke people. Edward Sheriff Curtis, a pioneering figure in American anthropology and photography, captured this image during his extensive travels through the American West. His work, which documented the lives and traditions of various Native American tribes, remains a valuable resource for scholars, historians, and anyone interested in the history and diversity of American culture.
