Description

Edward S. Curtis: The Collection – Early Native American Photographs (2008)

A large-format hardcover edition of Edward S. Curtis: The Collection – Early Photographs of the First Americans, published by Chartwell Books, Inc. in 2008. This beautifully presented work gathers more than 600 sepia-toned reproductions from Curtis’s monumental project The North American Indian, a landmark photographic record of Native American life and culture in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Key Credits:

  • Photographer: Edward S. Curtis (1868–1952)

  • Editors/Compilers: Don Gulbrandsen and Wayne L. Youngblood

  • Publisher: Chartwell Books, Inc. (Book Sales, Inc.)

  • Publication Year: 2008

Presented in an oblong folio format, the volume features high-quality printing and design faithful to Curtis’s original photogravures. It comes housed in its original illustrated slipcase, making it both a substantial reference work and an impressive display volume for collectors, historians, and photography enthusiasts.


Condition

Good condition overall. Binding remains sound. The book and slipcase show some surface scuffs and moderate edge wear, particularly along the corners and edges of the case. Interior pages are clean and bright, with only light handling marks.
