EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken between 1899 and 1928 by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe, captures the stunning views of Acoma, New Mexico, a community located in Cibola County. The image transports us back in time to the early 20th century, showcasing the unique architecture of the Pueblo Indians' adobe and mudbrick houses nestled on the mesa top. The women in traditional dress, some carrying baskets or tending to their homes, add to the authenticity of the scene. Genthe's use of a nitrate negative enhances the contrast and depth of the image, highlighting the intricate details of the buildings and the rugged terrain. The photograph was likely taken from an exterior vantage point, possibly using a ladder, to capture the expansive landscape. The Acoma Pueblo, also known as Sky City, is a National Historic Landmark and has been inhabited for over 800 years. This image is a valuable piece of American heritage art, providing a glimpse into the daily life and architecture of the indigenous community during the 1910s and 1920s. The Library of Congress holds this precious still image in its collection, preserving it for future generations to appreciate the rich history and culture of Acoma, New Mexico.
