EDITORS COMMENTS
Old Tail, a prominent member of the Apsáalooke, or Crow, tribe of Montana, United States, is depicted in this striking photograph taken by Edward Sheriff Curtis in 1908. The image captures Old Tail's strong, expressive face as he gazes off to the left, adorned in his traditional clothing and headdress. The intricate feather headdress, a symbol of his status and cultural heritage, crowns his head, adding an air of regality to the portrait. Old Tail's clothing, with its bold patterns and fringes, reflects the richness and diversity of the indigenous cultures of the American West during the early 20th century. This photograph, a gelatin silver print, is an important ethnographic and anthropological record of the Apsáalooke people and their traditions, providing a glimpse into a time when Native American cultures were still vibrant and vital. The image is part of the extensive Edward S. Curtis collection at the Library of Congress, a testament to the photographer's dedication to documenting the indigenous peoples of North America.
