At the turn of the 20th century, the American photographer Edward
Sheriff Curtis (1868-1952) started on his 30-year project to
produce a monumental study of North American Indians. Using an
approach that was both artistically and scientifically ambitious,
he recorded, in words and pictures, the traces of the traditional
Indian way of life that was already beginning to die out. With
tireless personal commitment Curtis visited 80 American Indian
tribes from the Mexican border to the Bering Strait, gaining their
confidence through his patience and sensitivity. His work was
printed in 20 volumes between 1907 and 1930 as The North American
Indian, but with only 272 copies, originals became extremely rare.
This book gathers Curtis's entire American Indian portfolio into
one publication, offering renewed access to and appreciation of his
extraordinary achievement, which is as much a precious historical
document as a triumph of the photographic form. About the series
