| Summary |
One hundred years ago, Edward Sheriff Curtis began a thirty-year odyssey to photograph and document the lives and traditions of the Native peoples of North America. Almost 200 of the finest examples of Curt is's photographs are reproduced; a significant number from platinum, gold, and silver prints. All have been carefully selected for publication and for an accompanying international exhibition by Curtis authority Christopher Cardozo. Geographic regions are presented separately and individual tribes within each region are depicted and described. Interspersed between these sections are portrayals of those aspects of life common to all tribes, among them spirituality, ceremony, arts, and the activities of daily life. Taken together, these profound images constitute no less than the core and essence of his life's work |
