EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled "Bad Horses," captured the portrait of a prominent Cheyenne chief named Bad Horses in 1905. Edward Sheriff Curtis, an accomplished American photographer and ethnologist, took this image during his extensive documentation of Native American cultures and traditions. Bad Horses is depicted seated, facing left, with a solemn expression on his face. He is adorned in traditional attire, including a beaded buckskin shirt and a magnificent feathered headdress with ermine tails. The intricate beadwork and embroidery on his clothing and headdress are a testament to the rich heritage and craftsmanship of the Plains Indians. The photograph, which is a gelatin silver print, was taken during a time when Native American cultures were undergoing significant change due to the encroachment of European influence. The image serves as an important record of the traditional clothing and customs of the Cheyenne people, preserving their history and heritage for future generations.
