EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "MESA VERDE: TOURISM, 1939" takes us back to a time when tourists explored the ancient cliff dwellings of Mesa Verde National Park in Colorado. The image, captured by photographer Russell Lee in August 1939, showcases a group of visitors standing in awe before the magnificent ruins. In this snapshot from history, we see people from different walks of life coming together to witness the marvels left behind by Native American civilizations. A man wearing sunglasses stands with his camera ready to capture every detail, while a woman next to him gazes up at the towering stone structures. A young boy and girl dressed in early 20th-century fashion stand nearby, their curiosity evident on their faces. The photograph not only captures the essence of tourism during that era but also highlights the significance of preserving our prehistoric heritage. These cliff dwellings were once inhabited by Paleo-Indians and serve as a testament to their ingenuity and cultural richness. As we admire this remarkable image today, it reminds us of our responsibility to protect these ancient sites for future generations. It serves as a reminder that even amidst modern advancements, there is still much wisdom and beauty to be found in exploring our past.
