Painting Description
"A Native American Indian c.1880-90" is a photographic work by Roland Napoleon Bonaparte (1858–1924), a French prince and amateur ethnologist, known for his contributions to anthropology and botany. This photograph is part of a larger collection created during Bonaparte's travels to the United States in the late 19th century, where he aimed to document the lives and cultures of Native American peoples.
The photograph captures a Native American individual, representing a moment in time and the intersection of indigenous cultures with the rapidly changing landscape of America during the period of Westward expansion and assimilation policies. Bonaparte's work is significant as it provides a visual record of Native American life and attire during a period of significant upheaval and transformation for these communities.
Bonaparte's interest in ethnology led him to produce a series of photographs that were both scientific in intent and artistic in execution. His work is characterized by a sense of respect and a desire to preserve the memory of the cultures he studied. "A Native American Indian c.1880-90" is thus an important historical document, reflecting the ethnographic practices of the time and contributing to the visual history of Native American peoples.
The photograph is also notable for its place within the broader context of 19th-century photography, where the medium was increasingly used to record and sometimes stage cultural diversity. The image is a testament to Bonaparte's technical skill as a photographer and his dedication to the field of anthropology.
As a member of the Bonaparte family, Roland Napoleon Bonaparte's works often attracted attention, and his photographs of Native Americans have been studied for their ethnographic significance as well as their aesthetic qualities. Today, these photographs are valuable for researchers and historians, offering insights into the representation of indigenous peoples during a critical period in American history.
