A Corner of Zuni, c1903
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph taken by the renowned American ethnographer and photographer, Edward Sheriff Curtis. This evocative image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to the Pueblo of Zuni in New Mexico, United States of America. The photograph showcases a corner of this ancient Native American community, with its distinctive adobe buildings nestled against the rugged terrain. The structures, with their terraced facades and flat roofs, are reminiscent of the traditional Pueblo architecture that has endured for centuries. In the foreground, three men can be seen going about their daily tasks. One man, dressed in traditional clothing, is climbing a ladder, perhaps to tend to the roof of his dwelling. Another man is standing near a building, while the third is in the background, looking off into the distance. The scene is set against a vast, open landscape, with the sun casting long shadows across the terrain. The image is a testament to the resilience and ingenuity of the Zuni people, who have adapted to the challenging environment and preserved their unique cultural heritage. Edward Sheriff Curtis captured this image during a time when the world was rapidly changing, and the traditional way of life for many indigenous communities was being threatened. His photographs, including "A Corner of Zuni," are invaluable resources for anthropologists, ethnologists, and anyone interested in understanding the rich cultural heritage of North America's First Nations. This photograph is a reminder of the importance of preserving the past, and the value of documenting the diverse and fascinating cultures that make up our global heritage. The Library of Congress is fortunate to have this image, and many others by Edward Sheriff Curtis, in its collection for future generations to explore and learn from.
