EDITORS COMMENTS
This head-and-shoulders portrait, titled "Strike On his Head, Crow Indian, Montana," was captured by renowned American ethnographer and photographer Edward Sheriff Curtis in the year 1908. The subject of the photograph is a Crow Indian man, whose intense gaze and proud expression convey a deep sense of heritage and resilience. He is dressed in traditional attire, including a beaded buckskin shirt adorned with intricate beadwork and two large shell disks around his neck. His loose forelock and braids add to the authenticity of the image, which captures the essence of the Apsáalooke, or Crow, people of the American West. The photograph is a testament to the rich cultural history of the indigenous peoples of North America during the early 20th century. Curtis, who was dedicated to documenting and preserving the traditions and customs of various Native American tribes, expertly captured the unique beauty and diversity of his subjects. This image, in particular, showcases the intricate details of the Crow people's clothing and adornments, as well as their connection to the natural world, which is reflected in the aquatic motifs found in their beadwork. The portrait is a valuable addition to any collection of anthropological or historical photographs, and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the cultural heritage of indigenous peoples. The image is also a striking example of the fashion and clothing styles of the time, and is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of the American West or the study of ethnography and ethnology.
