DescriptionTom Torlino Navajo before and after circa 1882.jpg
English: "Tom Torlino, Navajo, before and after." Black and white photographic portrait of a Navajo by J. N. Choate. Image courtesy of the Richard Henry Pratt Papers, Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library.[1] The "before" photo was taken in 1882, when Tom Torlino arrived at Carlisle Indian Industrial School. John Choate snapped the photo in his Carlisle studio. The "after" photo was taken three years later, in 1885. Historians Barbara Landis and Richard Tritt believe Choate manipulated the lighting in the second photo to help make a point: with the proper education, Carlisle students could literally blend in with white society. Tom Torlino entered Carlisle School on October 21, 1882 at the age of 22 and departed on August 28, 1886. By 1910, he was living in Tohatchi, New Mexico.
