EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, captured by Arnold Genthe between 1899 and 1928, offers a glimpse into the Acoma Pueblo area in Cibola County, New Mexico, United States. The image transports us back in time, showcasing the traditional adobe architecture of the Pueblo Indian community, which has remained largely unchanged for centuries. The mud brick houses, with their distinctive rounded shapes and flat roofs, are arranged in a neat, orderly fashion, creating a sense of unity and cohesion within the community. The scene is not only filled with human dwellings but also with the presence of animals, such as chickens and horses, which were essential to the daily life of the residents. The livestock roam freely outside, adding to the rustic charm of the image. The buildings, with their earthy tones, blend seamlessly into the landscape, creating a harmonious balance between man and nature. The photograph was taken during the 1910s or 1920s, a time when the world was undergoing rapid modernization. However, the Acoma Pueblo remained untouched by these changes, preserving its rich cultural heritage and traditions. This image serves as a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the indigenous people, who continue to maintain their unique way of life. The Library of Congress holds this nitrate negative in its vast collection, providing us with a valuable record of American history and the diverse communities that make up the United States of America.
