EDITORS COMMENTS
Old Woman Mourning-Yuki" is a poignant photogravure image captured by renowned American photographer Edward Sheriff Curtis in 1924. The photograph depicts an elderly Native American woman, identified as Yuki, in deep mourning. Her wrinkled face, lined with the weight of time and experience, is etched with sadness as she looks down, lost in thought. Her grey hair, pulled back into a bun, frames a face that tells a story of a life well-lived. She clutches a walking stick in one hand, the other hand resting on her lap, holding a traditional shawl close to her body. The image was taken in California during the 1920s, a time when the American West was undergoing rapid modernization and the indigenous population was facing significant cultural displacement. Curtis's ethnographic work aimed to document and preserve the heritage of Native American cultures, and this powerful portrait is a testament to his commitment to capturing the essence of a vanishing way of life. The image is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the United States and the importance of preserving the stories of its diverse population.
