EDITORS COMMENTS
Big Head [A], c1905: A poignant head-and-shoulders portrait capturing the wisdom and weary gaze of an unnamed Cheyenne man, taken by renowned ethnographer Edward Sheriff Curtis during the early 20th century. The man, dressed in a semi-dress made of a colorful blanket, is bare-chested and his aged, lined face is adorned with a traditional tribal headdress. His forehead is marked with intricate tattoos, adding to the rich cultural significance of the image. The man looks down, his expression a mix of sadness and contemplation, as he gazes off into the distance. The sepia-toned photograph, reminiscent of a bygone era, serves as a poignant reminder of the indigenous heritage and traditions of North America's Plains Indians. This powerful image, taken during a time when anthropology and ethnology were at the forefront of scientific exploration, is now part of the vast collection at the Library of Congress.
