NORTH AMERICAN INDIAN (TASCHEN BU) (HB)

At the turn of the 20th century, the American photographer Edward Sheriff Curtis began a 30-year project to record, in words and pictures, the Indian way of life that was already beginning to die out. With tireless commitment, Curtis visited 80 tribes from the Mexican border to the Bering Strait, gaining their confidence through his patience and sensitivity. This book gathers Curtis' entire American Indian portfolio into one publication, offering renewed access to and appreciation of his extraordinary achievement, as much a precious historical document as a triumph of the photographic form.
