EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Cliff Perched Homes-Hopi," was captured by renowned ethnographer and photographer Edward Sheriff Curtis around 1906. The image showcases four unmarried Hopi women in traditional clothing, standing in front of their cliffside pueblo buildings located in Hopi, Arizona, USA. The women's intricately designed hairstyles, adorned with squash blossoms and butterfly whorls, reflect their rich cultural heritage. The buildings, precariously perched on the steep cliff face, exhibit the unique Hopi architectural style, which has been a subject of fascination for anthropologists and architects alike. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the daily life of the Hopi people during the early 20th century. The photograph is a testament to the resilience and ingenuity of the Hopi people, who have managed to build their homes on the cliffs for centuries. This image is an essential addition to any collection focusing on American Indian ethnography, anthropology, or architecture. The Library of Congress holds this valuable piece of history in its vast archives, preserving it for future generations to study and appreciate.
