Edward S. Curtis: Native Americans
TASCHEN's 25th anniversary - Special edition!
An homage to the Curtis's 30-year Native American photography project
At the turn of the 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. The most important images of Curtis' work have been included in this compact homage to the great photographer.
