Description
Edward Sheriff Curtis (1868?1952) started on his 30-year project to produce a monumental study of North American Indians at the turn of the 20th century. 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. 80 American Indian tribes from the Mexican border to the Bering Strait have been studied by Curtis. 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. In 2012 a complete set of the original edition has been auctioned for some USD 1.4 million. This is the first time in over a century that a modestly priced, high-quality republication has been available. All 20 Volumes and 20 Portfolios have been re-created with careful fidelity to the original.
