EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Acoma, New Mexico area views' by Arnold Genthe, captures the stunning beauty and unique architecture of the Acoma Pueblo in Cibola County, New Mexico, between 1899 and 1928. The image transports us back in time to the early 20th century, showcasing the traditional adobe and mudbrick houses that have stood the test of time in this historic community. The photograph features a woman standing outside, looking up at a ladder leaning against one of the houses. She wears traditional clothing, adding to the sense of authenticity and connection to the past. The houses, with their simple yet elegant design, are arranged in a tight-knit community, creating a sense of unity and shared heritage. The image is particularly noteworthy for its use of nitrate negative, a photographic process that was popular during the 1910s and 1920s. The contrast between the white and black elements in the photograph creates a striking visual effect, highlighting the textures and details of the buildings and the landscape. The Acoma Pueblo, also known as Sky City, is situated on a mesa top overlooking the desert landscape. The community has a rich history, with evidence of human habitation dating back over 2,000 years. Today, it is a National Historic Landmark and a popular tourist destination, attracting visitors from around the world who are drawn to its unique architecture, cultural traditions, and natural beauty. This photograph is part of the Arnold Genthe Collection at the Library of Congress, a treasure trove of historical images that document the people and places of America during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It offers a rare glimpse into the past, providing us with a valuable record of a community and its people that continues to inspire and captivate us today.
