EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Story Telling" by Edward Sheriff Curtis, dates back to 1906 and offers a glimpse into the rich cultural traditions of the Apache people. The image features a group of Apache men, some seated on the ground and others on horseback, gathered around a storyteller. The storyteller, with a stick in hand, marks the ground as he weaves an intricate tale, captivating his audience with his words. The scene unfolds against a backdrop of a rugged, rocky landscape, adding to the sense of timelessness and connection to the land. The men listen intently, their expressions focused and engaged. Horses stand nearby, adding to the sense of the group's nomadic lifestyle. Edward Sheriff Curtis, a pioneering American photographer, captured this moment with remarkable skill and sensitivity. His photomechanical print, a photogravure, showcases the intricacies of the scene with stunning detail and depth. The image, a testament to the heritage and history of the Apache people, is a powerful reminder of the importance of communication and storytelling in preserving cultural traditions. This photograph, now housed in the Library of Congress, is a valuable addition to the historical record of the American West and the indigenous peoples who once called it home. It invites us to reflect on the stories that have shaped our past and the stories that continue to shape our present.
