EDITORS COMMENTS
White Man Runs Him" is a powerful and evocative photograph taken by renowned American ethnographer and photographer, Edward Sheriff Curtis, in 1908. The image captures the head-and-shoulders portrait of a Native American man named White Man Runs Him, a member of the Absaroka or Crow tribe, dressed in traditional clothing and adorned with animal apparel and jewelry. White Man Runs Him wears a distinctive fur hat, adorned with buffalo horns, which adds to his regal and imposing appearance. He is seated, facing the camera with a steady gaze, wearing a traditional Crow dress and headdress. The photograph was taken during the early 20th century in Montana, United States of America. The photograph is an important document of the cultural heritage and history of the Crow people, who were a significant presence in the American West during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Curtis's work was instrumental in recording and preserving the traditional customs, dress, and way of life of Native American tribes before they were forever changed by the encroachment of European-American settlers. The photograph is a gelatin silver print, which was a popular photographic process during the early 20th century. The image has a timeless quality that adds to its historical significance. The concept of the photograph is both anthropological and ethnological, reflecting the growing interest in the study of human cultures and societies during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Today, "White Man Runs Him" is an iconic image that continues to inspire and captivate audiences, providing a glimpse into the rich and complex history of Native American cultures. The photograph is now part of the collections of the Library of Congress, where it is preserved for future generations to study and appreciate.
