EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "NEW MEXICO: TRAVELERS, 1882" takes us back to a time when the American Southwest was still largely unexplored. The image captures a group of wealthy travelers in Zuni, New Mexico, during the late 19th century. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see men and women leisurely gathered around an exterior tent adorned with Native American pottery. The display of painted pottery before them showcases the rich artistic heritage of the region's indigenous people. Photographed by Ben Wittick in 1882, this image offers a glimpse into the gilded age of travel and exploration. It transports us to an era when venturing into unknown territories was reserved for those who possessed both means and curiosity. The presence of these tourists amidst such cultural richness raises questions about their motivations for visiting Zuni. Were they seeking adventure or simply indulging their desire for exotic experiences? Regardless of their intentions, this photograph serves as a testament to the allure that New Mexico held even then. As we observe this scene from over a century ago, it prompts reflection on how our understanding and appreciation for different cultures have evolved since then. This print is not just an artifact; it represents a moment frozen in history that invites us to explore our own perceptions of travel and cultural exchange today.
