Acoma, New Mexico: A Glimpse into the Past through Arnold Genthe's Lens, 1899-1928 This photograph, captured by Arnold Genthe between 1899 and 1928, offers a captivating view of the Acoma Pueblo in Cibola County, New Mexico, United States. The image transports us back in time, inviting us to explore the rich heritage and history of this indigenous community. Genthe, a renowned American photographer, captured this moment with a nitrate negative, preserving the intricate details of the landscape and the textured rock formations that surround the Pueblo. The close-up composition of the image, with its focus on the rock face and the handwritten inscription, adds an intimate and personal touch. The Acoma Pueblo, also known as Sky City, is a historic site and a sacred place for the Acoma people. The Pueblo, perched atop a 365-foot mesa, has been continuously inhabited for over 800 years. The community's unique architecture, with its multistory buildings adhered to the cliffside, is a testament to the ingenuity and resilience of the indigenous people. The inscription on the photograph, written in script, reads "Acoma Pueblo, New Mexico, USA." The lettering, reminiscent of the era, adds an authentic touch to the image, further emphasizing its historical significance. This photograph, now part of the collections at the Library of Congress in Washington D.C., is a valuable piece of American history. It offers a glimpse into the past, providing us with a deeper understanding of the people, culture, and landscape of Acoma, New Mexico, during the early 20th century.
