Historical B/W Photograph of Native American Navajo Pottery Makers
About the Item
An eye-catching antique black and white photograph taken by French photographer Odile Bouligny in 1922 sitting with two Native American Navajo pottery makers. The hand-written documentation on the back signifies that the women are mother and daughter. This is an original photograph of historical importance by this French photographer who traveled throughout the USA.
This intriguing image was shot on location in Laguna, New Mexico and is truly a great collectible item of historical importance.
Framed measurements: 15" W x 12 7/8" H x 7/8" D
Print measures: 11 3/4" W x 9 3/8" H
The photograph is hand signed and stamped with Bouligny's embossed studio copyright stamp, on Kodak paper. It also has the negative number written in the lower left side, as well as, other information in the bottom right.
It's extraordinary story, she and her husband crossed the United States taking very beautiful photos.
Odile noted in her diary:
"One cannot imagine the diplomatic efforts it takes to persuade these two Indian women, mother and daughter, to appear in a photo. A gust of wind blew me away. To see that these two women wore nothing under their miserable rags.
It is stated that the title of this picture is simply "Odile in good company".
Odile brought Navajo pottery to Paris like those in the foreground.
Mrs. Bouligny (born Odile Hubeau) was married to Edgar Bouligny (1880-1931) they married in 1919, Paris, France. Edgar was an American pilot. Having joined the legion in 1914, he was the first American injured in this conflict. Already during the First World War Edgar Bouligny distinguished himself by his courage and tenacity. Having started in the trenches, he will end the war as a pilot in the American army.
He passed away in New Orleans, Louisiana.
