Description

Edward S. Curtis Portraits from North American Indian Life (1972 Folio)

Portraits from North American Indian Life by Edward S. Curtis. Published in 1972 by Outerbridge & Lazard, Inc., New York, with introductions by A. D. Coleman and T. C. McLuhan. Designed by Ellen Seham and David E. Seham Associates. This large-format volume presents 88 sepia reproductions drawn from Curtis’s monumental early 20th-century photographic project The North American Indian.

Curtis’s imagery documents the lives, traditions, and landscapes of Native American peoples with an artistry that continues to shape the visual record of Indigenous culture. This 1972 edition marked a revival of scholarly and public interest in his work, and remains a significant reference in the history of American photography. A desirable folio for collectors of Western Americana, ethnography, and photographic history.
