EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "A Smoke," was captured by the renowned American ethnographer and photographer, Edward Sheriff Curtis, in the year 1905. The image portrays two Crow (Apsáalooke or Apsaroke) Indians, seated on the ground in Montana, United States of America. One man is intently focused on smoking his pipe, while the other looks off into the distance. The scene exudes a sense of quiet contemplation and tradition, as the men connect with their cultural practices in the vast expanse of the American West. Edward Sheriff Curtis was a pioneering figure in the fields of anthropology and ethnology, dedicated to documenting the lives and customs of Native American tribes before they were forever changed by the encroachment of European-American culture. This photograph is a testament to his commitment to preserving the heritage and history of indigenous peoples, particularly those of the Plains Indian tribes. The image, now held in the prestigious Library of Congress, serves as a poignant reminder of a time when the Crow people, and many other Native American tribes, continued to live according to their traditional ways. The stark contrast of the photograph against the natural backdrop of the Montana landscape adds to the timeless quality of the image, making it an invaluable contribution to the anthropological and historical record.
