EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait, created by renowned photographer Edward Sheriff Curtis in the early 1920s, showcases a Hupa mother from California, seated three-quarter length, cradling her baby in her arms. The mother, dressed in traditional Hupa clothing, wears a stunning head dress adorned with intricate beadwork and feathers, as well as a necklace and other jewelry. Her expression is one of deep connection and love as she gazes down at her infant son. The image, which was likely taken for use in Curtis's extensive documentation of Native American cultures, is a poignant representation of motherhood and the rich heritage of the Hupa people. The portrait, now held in the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the past, providing a valuable record of a time and culture that continues to be an essential part of American history.
