Mother and Child-Apsaroke, c1908
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a striking black and white portrait capturing the intimate moment between a mother and her baby from the Apsaroke, also known as the Crow, tribe in Montana, United States of America. The photograph, taken by renowned ethnographer and photographer Edward Sheriff Curtis, showcases the beauty and richness of the Crow culture during the early 20th century. The image features a half-length portrait of a woman, seated on a plain background, facing right, with a sense of warmth and tenderness in her expression as she cradles her baby in a beaded cradleboard. The mother's traditional dress, adorned with intricate beadwork and embroidery, reflects the unique and vibrant heritage of the Crow people. The baby, swaddled in soft fabrics, gazes up at its mother with innocent curiosity. The cradleboard, a traditional Crow baby carrier, is also intricately decorated with beads, showcasing the time-honored art of beading that was essential to the Crow culture. The use of beads for clothing and accessories was a significant aspect of their fashion, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the intricacies of their traditional apparel. The image is a valuable contribution to the ethnographic and anthropological record, providing insight into the daily life and customs of the Crow people during a time when their culture was rapidly changing due to encroaching European influence. The photograph, now held in the Library of Congress, serves as a testament to the resilience and enduring nature of indigenous cultures in America.
