EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Wife of Old Crow - Cheyenne," was captured by the renowned American anthropologist and photographer, Edward Sheriff Curtis, in the year 1927. The image features a Cheyenne woman, dressed in traditional Apsáalooke (Crow) apparel, gazing directly at the camera with a thoughtful expression. The woman's clothing, adorned with intricate floral designs, reflects the rich cultural heritage of the Crow people, who have inhabited the Absaroka region of Montana, United States, for centuries. The woman's garment, a half-length portrait, showcases the beauty and complexity of the Crow people's traditional dress. The dress, with its vibrant floral pattern, is complemented by a necklace made of beads and other natural materials, adding to the overall sense of history and tradition. The photograph, now held in the Library of Congress, is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Crow people and their unique cultural practices. Edward Sheriff Curtis, a pioneer in the field of ethnography and ethnology, dedicated his life to documenting the cultures and traditions of Native American communities across North America. His work, which includes thousands of photographs, films, and manuscripts, continues to be an invaluable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of American history and anthropology. This photograph, with its striking composition and timeless beauty, offers a glimpse into the past and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the diverse cultural heritage of the American West.
