"Soft, regular features are characteristic of Hopi young women, and no small part of a mother's time used to be devoted to dressing the hair of her unmarried daughters. The aboriginal style is rapidly being abandoned, and the native one-piece dress here illustrated is seldom seen even at the less advanced stage of the Hopi pueblos." (Caption by Curtis)

Photogravüre in rot-brauner Tinte auf Japanpapier 42,5 x 31 cm, montiert im Original-Passepartout 57 x 45,5 cm, in gutem Zustand. Im oberen linken Rand typografisch "Plate 406", im unteren Rand Titel und "From Copyright Photograph 1905 by E. S. Curtis" sowie "Photogravure Suffolk Eng.

The complete portfolios, text by Hans Christian Adam, Köln 1997, Vol. XII, S. 469.
"Weiche, gleichmäßige Züge sind charakteristisch für die jungen Hopi-Frauen, und ein nicht geringer Teil der Zeit einer Mutter war früher dem Frisieren der Haare ihrer unverheirateten Töchter gewidmet. Die traditionelle Kultur verschwindet aber zusehends, und das hier abgebildete einteilige Kleid ist selbst in den weniger fortgeschrittenen Hopi-Pueblos nur noch selten zu sehen." (Bildunterschrift von Curtis)
