  • Description
    Edward S Curtis (1868-1952) Title: Shot in The Hand - Apsaroke Plate: 133 Portfolio: Volume IV Printer: John Andrew & Son Medium: Photogravure Date: 1908

    The iconic subject of this portrait is dressed in traditional Apsaroke attire, including a feathered headdress with intricate beadwork, symbolising his status and accomplishments, suggesting perhaps success in battle. His expression conveys great pride in his life and achievements.

    The title “Shot in the Hand” serves a dual purpose. First, it emphasises a physical trauma experienced by the sitter, which could also symbolise the broader suffering of Native Americans during this period.

    Second, the image underscores the resilience of the subject—despite the wound, he stands proud and dignified.

    Curtis, in capturing this photograph, not only documents the individual’s experience, but also conveys a message about strength, endurance, and survival.
