EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Mom and Dad Curtis, c1880s (1920s)" by Edward Sheriff Curtis, transports us back in time to the late 19th and early 20th centuries in America. The image features an elderly couple, Asahel Johnson Curtis and Ellen Sheriff Curtis, standing on the doorstep of their country home. Asahel, a farmer, wears a simple work shirt and trousers, while Ellen, a minister's daughter, is dressed in a modest, high-necked blouse and long skirt. Their direct gaze and strong connection are evident as they look intently at the camera, inviting us into their world. Edward Sheriff Curtis, the renowned photographer, captured this precious moment in history using an orotone process, resulting in a stunning, gold-toned print. The exterior setting, with the rustic wooden door and simple surroundings, adds to the authenticity of the scene. The couple's timeless love and enduring bond are on full display, making this photograph a poignant reminder of the heritage and history of America. The image, which is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), offers a glimpse into the lives of ordinary people during this era. The Curtis family's story is one of hard work, marriage, and the passage of time. This photograph is a testament to the power of photography to preserve memories and connect us to our past.
