Description from the seller
Edward Sheriff Curtis (born February 16, 1868 in Cold Spring, Wisconsin; died October 19, 1952 in Whittier, California) was an American photographer who spent 30 years of his life portraying the customs and practices of North American Indians.
Edward S. Curtis sought to photographically depict what he saw as the vanishing way of life and the traditions of numerous Indian tribes. In the process, about 40,000 photographs of around 80 tribes were produced. In addition, 10,000 language and music recordings as well as numerous biographies. For nearly three decades he traveled across North America. In his photographs, Curtis often attempted to portray the Indians as he imagined them, without the components of Euro-American culture. As a child of his era, he was swept up in romantic notions of a disappearing culture and lost sight of the adaptability and resilience with which those photographed clung to their culture.

The image is 28.5 cm wide and 40 cm high. The frame is 45.5 cm wide and 61 cm high.
