EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait captures the wise and introspective gaze of Pah Toi, a Taos Indian man from New Mexico, in the early 1900s. Dressed in traditional clothing, Pah Toi's braided hair, plaited in a complex hairstyle, frames his face, adding to the sense of heritage and tradition. The photo, taken by renowned ethnographer Edward Sheriff Curtis around 1905, is a testament to the rich cultural history of the Taos Pueblo people, a Native American community located in the southwestern United States. The image, titled "Pah Toi (White Clay), Taos Indian, half-length portrait, facing front," is a powerful representation of the dignity and resilience of the first nations people of North America. The direct gaze of Pah Toi, as he looks straight at the camera, invites the viewer to connect with him on a deeper level, making this photograph an invaluable contribution to the field of anthropology and ethnology. The Library of Congress holds this precious piece of history in its vast collection, preserving it for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
