Tries His Knee,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating half-length portrait captured by Edward S. Curtis in 1908, showcases the enigmatic presence of a Crow man from Montana, United States. The photograph, now held in the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Apsáalooke or Crow people during the early 20th century. The man, dressed in traditional apparel, wears a fringed blanket draped over his shoulders, adorned with intricate beadwork and feathers. His clothing, a testament to the fusion of practicality and artistic expression, is a reflection of the unique blend of Native American and European influences that characterized the American West during this period. The man's gaze is fixed on the camera, his expression both introspective and resolute. He wears a necklace of beads and feathers, adding to the overall sense of heritage and tradition. The title "Tries His Knee" is believed to refer to a Crow custom where a man would test the strength of his knee by bending it in front of his elders, symbolizing his readiness to assume responsibilities and leadership roles within his community. This photograph is an essential ethnographic and historical record of the Crow people, providing a window into their culture and customs during a time when their way of life was rapidly changing. The image's timeless composition and the man's unwavering gaze continue to captivate viewers, making it a cherished piece of American history.
