Description
EDWARD SHERIFF CURTIS Pl. 262 Nez Perce Warrior, 1905 15.3x10.8" photogravure on 22x18" Holland Van Gelder paper ASG# ESC/4782
Curtis used the headdress worn in this view by the subject in numerous other images. 1980s revisionist history condemns this prop as being untruthful. Acknowledging this allows the viewer to look more truthfully and with dignity at the man.
Edward Sheriff Curtis (1868-1952) between 1898 and 1928 Working in collaboration with many tribal members Curtis created an ethno-historical account combined with photographic notions of character portraiture, environmental portraiture and classical romanticism as well as straight documentary views. He published 20 octavo volumes with around 75 prints per volume each accompanied with a larger portfolio of usually 36 hand pulled photogravures. THE NORTH AMERICAN INDIAN (1906-1928) is considered the most lavish and elegantly illustrated set of photographic books ever produced. This has lot has original vintage photogravures from this publication made under Curtis supervision.
