A Window into History: 1922 Portrait by Odile Bouligny
This captivating black and white photograph, captured in 1922 by renowned French photographer Odile Bouligny, offers a glimpse into a bygone era. The image portrays a mother and daughter, both Navajo pottery makers, sitting comfortably together. Handwritten documentation on the back of the photograph confirms their familial bond.
A Journey Through Time and Culture:
Bouligny, known for her travels throughout the United States, captured this intriguing scene in Laguna, New Mexico. The photograph transcends a simple portrait, instead offering a window into the lives and artistry of these Navajo women. Details like the women's clothing and pottery provide silent clues about their culture and traditions.
A Unique Collectible:
This original photograph is more than just an image; it's a historical artifact. Hand-signed by Bouligny and stamped with her embossed studio copyright mark, it's a testament to her artistic journey. The negative number and other handwritten information on the back further enhance the photograph's provenance. The overall framed size is 15" x 12 7/8" x 7/8", with the print itself measuring 11 3/4" x 9 3/8".
Owning a Piece of History:
This photograph is not just a beautiful piece of art, but a valuable collectible with historical significance. It would be a treasured addition for anyone interested in Native American culture, photography history, or Bouligny's work.
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.
