EDITORS COMMENTS
The Comanche Mother, 1907" is a captivating sepia photogravure captured by renowned photographer Edward Sheriff Curtis. This powerful image showcases a young Comanche mother crouching down with her baby securely wrapped in a papoose on her back. The photograph, taken in the early twentieth century, transports us to a time when Native American Indian culture was still deeply rooted in North America. The portrait style of this photograph allows us to see the direct gaze and youthful features of both the mother and child. The artist's skillful composition captures the tenderness between them as they look directly at the camera, creating an intimate connection with viewers. This print is from Curtis' iconic book "The North American Indian" which aimed to document and preserve Native American cultures that were rapidly changing due to Western influence. It is particularly significant as it bears Edward Curtis' own signature and date from 1907, adding historical value to this already remarkable piece. As we admire this beautiful artwork, we are reminded of the strength and resilience of Native American mothers throughout history. Their ability to nurture their children amidst challenging circumstances speaks volumes about their love and dedication. Bridgeman Images has preserved this extraordinary moment through their fine art collection, allowing us all to appreciate the beauty and cultural significance captured within "The Comanche Mother.
