EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Lummi Type, 1899" takes us back to the late 19th century in America. Created by the talented Edward Sheriff Curtis, this photogravure captures the essence of a woman from the Lummi Nation in the northwest United States. The image is plate 320 from his renowned work "The North American Indian, volume 9" published in 1913. In this portrait, we witness a proud indigenous woman with her hair intricately braided into plaits that cascade down her back. Her hairstyle reflects not only her cultural heritage but also showcases the artistry and attention to detail within Lummi traditions. Curtis's expertise in ethnography and his deep respect for Native American culture shine through as he beautifully portrays this local Lummi woman. Through his lens, he transports us to a time when these communities lived harmoniously with nature and celebrated their unique identities. Displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago, this artwork serves as a powerful reminder of our shared history and honors the resilience and beauty of Native American people. It invites viewers to appreciate their rich cultural heritage while acknowledging their continued presence in modern society. Edward Sheriff Curtis's remarkable contribution to documenting indigenous cultures has left an indelible mark on art history. This photograph stands as a testament to his dedication towards preserving these invaluable stories for generations to come.
