EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Yumas, a Native American tribe from Arizona, in the mid-1850s. The figure to the left is none other than Leoch, beautifully portrayed in this portrait drawn by Arthur Carl Victor Schott for The United States and Mexican Boundary Survey. Schott, a multi-talented German-American engineer and artist, worked as a special scientific collector for the United States Boundary Commission. In this image, we witness an enchanting scene where Leoch embraces his indigenous roots with pride. Dressed in traditional Yuma attire, he stands tall alongside a lady adorned in vibrant clothing. Both individuals exude grace and strength as they hold onto their bows and arrows - symbols of their rich cultural heritage. The attention to detail captured by Sarony, Major and Knapp brings out every nuance of this momentous encounter between man and nature. Lush flowers surround them while native plants serve as reminders of their deep connection to the land they call home. Through this photograph's lens, we catch a glimpse into 19th-century America - a time when Native Americans proudly preserved their traditions amidst rapid societal changes. This remarkable piece serves as both an ethnographic treasure and a testament to the resilience of indigenous peoples throughout history.
