EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment frozen in time at Mesa Verde National Park, Colorado in 1939. The image showcases the early days of tourism as visitors eagerly search for Native American hieroglyphics with the guidance of a knowledgeable ranger. The tourists, both men and women, are dressed in fashion typical of the era - hats and sunglasses shielding their eyes from the bright August sun. One man squints his eyes, trying to decipher the ancient symbols etched onto the rocks while another woman looks on with curiosity. Russell Lee's expert photography skills beautifully capture not only the scene but also highlights the stunning exterior of Mesa Verde National Park itself. The park is known for its rich archaeological history, particularly its prehistoric Pueblo Indian dwellings that date back thousands of years. This print offers viewers a glimpse into an important period in American archaeology and serves as a reminder of our fascination with ancient civilizations. It transports us back to a time when exploration was still relatively new and guides like this ranger played an essential role in educating visitors about these remarkable sites. Preserved by Library of Congress; The Crowley Company, this historical snapshot invites us to appreciate both our past and present connections to Native American culture while reminding us how far we have come since those early days of tourism at Mesa Verde National Park.
