EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Two Native American Women, Posed, on Mackinac Island, 1903," is a beautiful and poignant image captured by the renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston. The photograph was taken on Mackinac Island, located in Lake Huron, Michigan, and is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the indigenous peoples of the region. The image features two Native American women, dressed in traditional clothing, seated on a wooden bench against a backdrop of lush greenery. The older woman, with a serene expression on her face, gazes off into the distance, her eyes filled with the wisdom of the ages. The younger woman, with a gentle smile, looks directly at the camera, her gaze engaging and inviting. The photograph was taken during the early 20th century, a time when the indigenous peoples of America were facing significant challenges as their lands were being taken and their cultures were being marginalized. Johnston's image offers a rare glimpse into a world that was rapidly disappearing, and serves as a powerful reminder of the resilience and strength of indigenous peoples. The photograph was taken using the cyanotype process, a photographic printing process that produces an image in shades of blue. The monochromatic color palette adds to the timeless and ethereal quality of the image, making it a true work of art. The photograph is part of the Frances Benjamin Johnston Collection at the Library of Congress, a vast archive of over 12,000 images documenting the architectural and social history of America. This image, in particular, stands out for its sensitivity and respect for the subjects, making it a valuable addition to the collection and a treasure for anyone interested in American history and culture.
