EDITORS COMMENTS
This head-and-shoulders portrait, titled "Tom Poqui" (c1905), captures the enigmatic beauty of a young Tewa woman from New Mexico, United States. The photograph was taken by the renowned American ethnographer and photographer, Edward Sheriff Curtis. Edward Sheriff Curtis (1868-1952) was a pioneering figure in the field of anthropology and ethnology, dedicated to documenting the cultures and traditions of Native American peoples. His extensive body of work, including this image of Tom Poqui, is a testament to his unwavering commitment to preserving the heritage and history of indigenous communities. Tom Poqui's portrait showcases her traditional Tewa attire, which includes a white and black fringed blanket draped over her shoulders, adorned with intricate geometric patterns. Her hair, styled in a complex, intricately braided hairstyle, frames her face, adding to her striking appearance. The photograph, taken during the early 20th century, is a poignant reminder of a bygone era and the rich cultural heritage of the Pueblo Indians of North America. Tom Poqui's portrait, with its timeless quality, continues to captivate viewers and inspire appreciation for the diverse and intriguing histories of Native American communities. This evocative image is now part of the vast collection of the Library of Congress, a testament to its historical significance and importance in the field of anthropology and ethnography.
