EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the late 1870s showcases a Native American man named Eagle Plume, hailing from an unidentified tribe. The portrait beautifully captures his stoic expression and traditional attire, providing a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Native Americans during this era. Eagle Plume's striking features are accentuated by a meticulously crafted beaded necklace and an intricately designed earring that adorns his ear. His choice of clothing includes a flannel shirt, reflecting the influence of Western fashion on indigenous communities at the time. Photographed using collodion, a popular technique in the 19th century, this image is not only visually stunning but also serves as an important historical document. It offers us insight into the lives and identities of Native Americans during this period of immense change and upheaval. The photographer behind this remarkable piece is Granger, NYC / The Granger Collection. Their skillful composition highlights both the individuality of Eagle Plume and his representation as part of a larger native community. As we admire this photograph today, let us remember to appreciate its artistic value while acknowledging its significance in preserving our collective history.
