About the Item
Vintage platinum/palladium print
Signed with the photographer's embossed stamp on recto
For over thirty years, photographer Edward Curtis traveled the length and breadth of North America, seeking to record with images the traditional life of its vanishing indigenous inhabitants. No other photographer has created a larger oeuvre on the theme of Native Americans, and it is Curtis, more than any other, who has crucially molded our conception of Native Americans. In this platinum print image, an American Indian is captured in profile view, fashioning the traditional headpiece of his people. Curtis’ images vividly detail his journey through life and exploration of various American cultures.

Edward Curtis
Born in 1868 near Whitewater, Wisconsin, Edward Sheriff Curtis became one of America's finest photographers and ethnologists. Beginning in 1896 and ending in 1930, Curtis photographed and documented every major Native American tribe west of the Mississippi, taking over 40,000 negatives of eighty tribes. For thirty years, he devoted his life to an odyssey of photographing and documenting the lives and traditions of the Native people of North America. His photographs had an immense impact on the national imagination and continue to shape the way we see Native life and culture. His life's work was to record the faces and lifestyles of the Indians before they vanished forever beneath the settling of the continent by the white man. He photographed his subjects from the deserts of the Southwest to the ice floes of the Arctic, recording with his camera and pen the look and the culture of more than eighty tribes. It was an achievement both poignant and monumental.
