[Native American Baskets] 1898 - 1902

Adam Clark Vroman’s photograph, "[Native American Baskets]", showcases the craftsmanship of Native American basket weaving. Taken between 1898 and 1902, the image features three intricately woven baskets: a large, round basket with a lid, a smaller, round basket, and a shallow bowl. The photograph's composition emphasizes the baskets’ intricate patterns and textures, highlighting the skill and artistry of their creators. Vroman’s work is known for its documentation of Native American life and culture, and this photograph, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Native American artistry.
