EDITORS COMMENTS
Ucowuhhuh, Hooper Bay, 1928" is a captivating photogravure print by the renowned American ethnologist and photographer, Edward Sheriff Curtis. This image, taken in the small Alaskan village of Hooper Bay during the 1920s, offers a rare glimpse into the traditional culture and clothing of the indigenous people of North America. The subject of the photograph is a female figure, dressed in a beautiful and intricately designed traditional costume. She wears a long, fur-lined coat, adorned with fur collars and cuffs, which is secured with traditional fastenings. The coat is worn over a simple, yet elegant, dress, which features a high neckline and long sleeves. The woman's hair is styled in a traditional manner, and she looks away from the camera with an uncertain expression, adding an air of mystery to the image. The photograph was taken during a time when the traditional ways of life of indigenous peoples were rapidly changing, and this image serves as an important record of their heritage and cultural traditions. Curtis, a pioneer in the field of ethnology, dedicated his career to documenting the lives and customs of Native American tribes across North America. This photograph is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), and is a valuable addition to the museum's holdings of American Indian and ethnographic art. The image is a testament to the rich cultural history of North America and the importance of preserving and celebrating the diversity of its peoples. Overall, "Ucowuhhuh, Hooper Bay, 1928" is a stunning and evocative work of art that captures the essence of a bygone era and offers a glimpse into the beauty and complexity of the indigenous cultures of North America.
