1898List414Oraibi 1898. Platinum print 6 ¼ x 8 14 inches on 9 ¼ x 11 ½ inch sheet titled and dated in the margin in ink. The Illinois-born photographer Adam Clark Vroman moved to California in 1892 hoping that the dry climate would provide relief for his tuberculosis. He set up a studio in Pasadena and began a series of trips through California Arizona and New Mexico photographing the landscapes and residents notably the Hopi Zuni and Pueblo people. He would often travel with his friend Charles Fletcher Lummis editor of the Los Angeles Times and an amateur photographer himself. He worked for the Bureau of American Ethnology on two projects one in New Mexico at Enchanted Mesa and the other photographing cave dwellings in Arizona. Vroman's photographs of American Indians are notable for their lack of romantic embellishment as unlike many other Euro-American photographers of Indian subjects he did not try to imbue the photographs with sentimentality. <br /> <br /> This photograph from one of his trips in 1898 shows a Hopi Snake Dance in Oraibi Arizona. The Snake Dance held annually in late August is part of a larger ceremony mostly held in private. Many artists and photographers photographed the Snake Dance during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century and publications such as Harpers Weekly and The Saturday Review wrote of the ceremonies. Vroman's photograph is notable for the maturity and lack of exotification with the dancers shown within the village landscape surrounded by onlookers. <br /> <br /> Overall a fine example with minimal wear matted and framed. unknown books
