EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'The old bell tower, c1905' by Edward Sheriff Curtis, transports us back in time to the Acoma Pueblo in Cibola County, New Mexico, United States. The image showcases the intricate bell tower, a significant architectural landmark of the Acoma people, who have inhabited this area since the 12th century. The bell tower, with its distinctive adobe and brick construction, stands proudly against the backdrop of traditional pueblo buildings. The bell, nestled in the opening of the tower, is silhouetted against the clear blue sky, adding depth and dimension to the image. The tower's weathered texture and the earthy tones of the mudbrick buildings convey a sense of history and heritage. This photograph, taken in the early 1900s, is a testament to the rich anthropological and ethnological significance of the Acoma Pueblo and its people. Curtis' meticulous composition and attention to detail capture the essence of this unique and culturally important site, making it an invaluable addition to any collection of American Indian or Southwestern Americana. The Library of Congress holds this precious piece of history in its vast archives, preserving it for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
