An original 1907 photogravure by Edward S. Curtis titled Struck by Crow – Oglala, from Volume III of The North American Indian. The portrait presents the Oglala Lakota elder in direct, frontal pose, his gaze calm and unwavering, framed by braids, fur, and feathered regalia. A large shell ornament at his neck serves as a luminous center in Curtis’s tightly composed image.

Copyrighted in 1907, the photogravure exemplifies Curtis’s ability to convey individual character and spiritual depth. Struck by Crow's face, weathered and lined, speaks not only to personal experience but to the endurance of Oglala tradition. His image stands as both ethnographic record and portraiture of striking visual integrity, emblematic of Curtis’s larger project to preserve, in his words, “the mode of life of one of the great races of mankind.”
