1883List406Zuni Pueblo / Washington 1883. Albumen photograph 7 ¼ x 9 ¼ on 8 x 10 inch mount. Very Good. Frank Hamilton Cushing was an ethnologist and anthropologist who helped pioneer the practice of participant observation by living among Zuni in New Mexico. He joined James Stevenson's anthropological expedition to New Mexico undertaken by the United States Bureau of Ethnography in 1879. Enthralled by Zuni culture he lived with the Zuni from 1879 until a scandal related to his advocacy work forced him to return to Washington in 1884. <br /> <br /> John K. Hillers the German-born photographer of the American West was a photographer for the Bureau of American Ethnography from 1879-1881 during which time he took this picture of Cushing in Zuni dress. Cushing - we think - has inscribed the photograph on the verso as follows: "Tenatsali / Medicine Flower of the Spaces / Younger Priesthood of the Bow / War Chief of Zuni / Adopted American Name /Frank Hamilton Cushing. " <br /> <br /> A very good example of an important image with some light fading. Scarce in commerce with no copies in auction records. A very good example with some fading. From the estate of De Lancey W. Gill and Agnes Gill Webster. Gill was a prolific photographer of American Indians who worked for the Bureau of Ethnography in the early part of the twentieth century. unknown books
