EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Indians, American - Child, 1916," captures the image of a Native American girl in traditional attire, standing full length against a plain backdrop. The young girl, adorned in a beautiful applique dress, exudes a sense of grace and innocence. The intricate design of the dress, featuring aquatic life motifs, adds to its visual appeal. At the left of the frame, an object can be discerned, which appears to be a cradle board with a doll attached. This accessory suggests that the girl may have been carrying a doll, a common practice among Native American cultures. The photograph was taken by Harris & Ewing, a renowned photographic studio based in Washington D.C. during the early 20th century. The studio, founded by George H. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze, was a leading supplier of images to the US Congress and other government agencies. This particular image is part of the vast Harris & Ewing Collection, housed at the Library of Congress. The photograph offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Native American communities during the 1910s. The girl's traditional costume, complete with shell adornments, reflects the deep connection between Native Americans and the natural world. The use of glass negative technique further enhances the image's historical value, making it a valuable addition to any collection focusing on American history, fashion, or cultural representation.
