The Silversmith’s Daughter

When I choose images in the public domain, I choose them because they speak to me. The look captured in their eyes, or the way they are sitting or the setting they are in. I choose meaningful historical images that mean speak to me.

This little girl spoke to me. She wanted me to share her image.  The silversmith’s daughter is beautiful and innocent. She was from the Navajo tribe in Gallup, NM the photo was taken in 1920.
