About Edward S. Curtis

Edward S. Curtis was an American photographer, born on 16 February 1868 near Whitewater, Wisconsin, and died in Los Angeles on 19 October 1952. He ran a photography studio in Seattle, where he photographed Chief Joseph in 1903, and in 1899 he served as official photographer on the Harriman expedition to Alaska.

Curtis spent some thirty years on The North American Indian, a 20-volume work published between 1907 and 1930, supported from 1906 by the banker J. P. Morgan. He made more than 40,000 photographs of people from over 80 tribes and over 10,000 wax-cylinder sound recordings, and in 1914 he made the film In the Land of the Head Hunters with a Kwakwaka'wakw cast. Images such as Canyon de Chelly, Navajo (1904) are still widely known. His work is also debated: he sometimes staged scenes, supplied costumes and removed signs of modern life, presenting Native peoples as a "vanishing race". Edward S. Curtis's photographs remain an enormous and complicated record.

Edward S. Curtis prints: reproductions of the photographs Edward S. Curtis made of Native American people and places between 1898 and 1905. The collection includes Cañon de Chelly, Navaho (1904), Chief Joseph, Nez Percé (1903), The Three Chiefs, Piegan (1900), A Chief of the Desert, Navaho (1904) and Red Cloud, Ogalala (1905).

This selection mixes portraits and landscapes. The portraits include Piegan, Nez Percé, Jicarilla, Hopi, Taos and Sioux sitters, many of them named. The landscapes include Navaho canyon country, the Acoma belfry and sunsets on Puget Sound near his Seattle studio. Most images are sepia or warm brown monochrome, with soft focus and low light.

The warm sepia tones suit studies, offices, living rooms and hallways, and the canyon and Puget Sound views work well above a sofa or desk. All prints are museum-quality reproductions, available unframed or framed with low-glare acrylic glazing, with free shipping and import duties covered.
