EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Woman's Costume-Cheyenne, 1927," is a stunning example of the traditional attire of the Cheyenne people captured by the renowned American ethnographer and photographer, Edward Sheriff Curtis. The black and white image, which is a photogravure on paper, depicts an elderly Cheyenne woman standing proudly in a full-length portrait. She is dressed in a traditional Cheyenne costume, which includes a beaded tunic, a shawl adorned with intricate beadwork, and a beaded headband. The woman's clothing is adorned with a variety of beads in different colors, which have been meticulously sewn onto the fabric using a combination of beading and embroidery techniques. The Cheyenne people, who were indigenous to the Great Plains of North America, were known for their exceptional beadwork and needlework skills, which were used to create beautiful and functional clothing. This photograph, taken in the 1920s, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Cheyenne people and the importance of preserving traditional clothing and customs. The image is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the history and diversity of American culture.
