EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait captures the introspective gaze of Henry, a Wichita Indian man, in the late 1920s. Taken by renowned photographer Edward S. Curtis during his extensive documentation of North American Indigenous peoples, this image offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Wichita people. Henry's braided hair, adorned with beads and feathers, frames his strong, angular features, while his glasses add an intriguing layer of depth to his expression. The portrait's composition, with Henry facing slightly left and looking down, invites the viewer to contemplate the complex history and experiences of the Native American peoples during the 20th century in the United States. This historic photograph, taken during the 1920s, is a testament to the enduring legacy of Edward S. Curtis's work and the resilience of Indigenous communities.
