EDITORS COMMENTS
Cheyenne Female Type," captured by renowned American photographer Edward Sheriff Curtis in 1911, presents a striking portrait of an elderly Cheyenne woman adorned in traditional Plains Indian clothing. The photogravure on tissue, a common technique used by Curtis, highlights the intricate details of her apparel, including the braided hair, plaited shawl, and intricately beaded necklace. The woman's long, flowing hair is braided and adorned with beads and feathers, a testament to her indigenous heritage and the rich cultural traditions of the Cheyenne people. Her clothing, consisting of a simple dress and shawl, is also adorned with beads and other decorative elements, reflecting the importance of jewelry and adornments in Cheyenne culture. The portrait offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to the American West during the early 20th century and providing a window into the lives of the indigenous peoples of the United States. The image is a valuable addition to the ethnological record, preserving the history and heritage of the Cheyenne people for future generations. This photograph is now part of the extensive collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), a testament to its historical significance and artistic merit.
