EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled "Red Shirt," was captured by renowned American anthropologist and photographer Edward Sheriff Curtis in 1905. The image features a Native American man, identified as Red Shirt, in a head-and-shoulders portrait. Red Shirt wears a traditional Plains Indian outfit, including a long, fringed blanket draped over his shoulders and a feather headdress adorning his head. His long, flowing hair is styled in a traditional manner, adding to the authenticity of his attire. Red Shirt's proud profile, facing left, exudes a sense of heritage and pride. The photograph is a testament to the rich cultural traditions of the First Nations people, specifically the Lakota, Oglala, and Teton Sioux, who inhabited the Great Plains region of North America during the early 20th century. Edward Sheriff Curtis was a pioneer in the field of ethnography and ethnology, documenting the lives and customs of Native American tribes through his photography. This gelatin silver print is a valuable addition to the anthropological record, providing insight into the traditional clothing and dress of the Plains Indians during this time period. The Library of Congress holds this precious photograph in its extensive collection, preserving it for future generations to study and appreciate the cultural heritage of Native Americans.
