EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Crow Child," was captured by renowned American ethnographer and photographer Edward Sheriff Curtis in 1908. The image depicts a young Crow (Absaroka or Apsáalooke) girl, dressed in traditional apparel, standing proudly against a rocky backdrop. The girl's intricately beaded dress, adorned with colorful quillwork and fringes, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Crow people. Her earrings, made from porcupine quills, add to her traditional attire. The girl gazes directly at the camera, inviting the viewer into her world, offering a glimpse into the lives of the Native American communities of the American West during the early 20th century. Taken in Montana, United States of America, this photograph is an important ethnographic and anthropological record of the Crow people and their customs. The gelatin silver print, a common photographic process of the time, has preserved this moment in history, allowing future generations to appreciate the beauty and resilience of the Crow culture.
