Cheyenne Matron, 1910
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photogravure on tissue by the renowned American ethnologist and photographer, Edward Sheriff Curtis. This photograph, taken during the early 1910s, showcases an elderly Cheyenne woman dressed in traditional Plains Indian attire. The image captures her concerned expression and the intricate details of her clothing and accessories. The woman wears a long, dark braided shawl draped over her shoulders, with a lighter, plaited one wrapped around her head. Her neck is adorned with a beautiful necklace made of beads and feathers, adding to the overall sense of heritage and tradition. The woman's clothing, with its intricate patterns and textures, is a testament to the rich cultural history of the Cheyenne people. The photograph was taken during a time when the Plains Indians were undergoing significant cultural changes as a result of European influence. Curtis' work, through his ethnological studies and photography, aimed to document and preserve the traditional ways of life of these indigenous communities. This image, now held in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is an important reminder of the diverse and complex history of the American West and the people who lived there. The woman's concerned expression and the intricacies of her clothing and accessories serve as a poignant reminder of the importance of preserving cultural heritage and the stories of those who came before us. Curtis' work continues to be celebrated for its historical significance and artistic merit, and this photograph, "Cheyenne Matron, 1910," is a prime example of his ability to capture the essence of a moment in time and the stories of the people he documented.
