Adobe Brick Cyanotype Mud Brick Mudbrick Pueblo Pueblo Indian Walls

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph taken by Charles Fletcher Lummis around 1890, a Pueblo woman with two children stands before the adobe walls of her home. The woman, dressed in traditional clothing, gazes directly at the camera with a confident and unwavering gaze. Her two young girls, clad in simple garments, peer curiously over her shoulder, their eyes following the photographer's lens. The scene unfolds before a backdrop of mud brick walls, the distinctive architecture of Puebloan dwellings. The exterior setting, with its earthy tones and natural textures, conveys a sense of timelessness and connection to the land. The children's direct gaze and the woman's steady, unbroken stare add an element of intimacy, inviting the viewer into their world. Charles Fletcher Lummis, an American journalist, writer, and photographer, captured this moment in the 1890s, a time when the Puebloan way of life was rapidly changing due to European influence and encroaching modernization. Lummis, who was known for his advocacy of preserving Native American heritage, documented the lives of Puebloan people with respect and sensitivity, offering a window into a vanishing way of life. This photograph, now held in the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, is a poignant reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the Puebloan people and the importance of preserving their stories for future generations. The image's enduring appeal lies in its ability to transport us to a bygone era, allowing us to witness a moment in time that might otherwise have been lost to history.
