EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Zuni Water Carriers," was captured by renowned American ethnographer and photographer Edward Sheriff Curtis around 1903. The image showcases two Zuni women in full length, dressed in blankets and performing their daily chore of carrying water pots on their heads. The women, standing side by side, are positioned outside, likely in New Mexico, United States of America. Their clothing, consisting of blankets draped over their bodies, is a testament to their indigenous heritage and the traditional fashion of the Zuni people. The women's faces are expressionless, yet their posture and the weight of the ceramic pots on their heads convey the physical demands of their occupation as water carriers. The image is a poignant depiction of the daily life and domestic chores of the Zuni people during the early 20th century. The photograph is a valuable ethnographic and anthropological record, providing insight into the culture and traditions of the Zuni people. The Library of Congress holds this precious piece of history in its vast collection, preserving it for future generations to appreciate and learn from. The photograph is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the indigenous peoples of North America and the importance of documenting and celebrating their traditions and ways of life.
