Edward Sheriff Curtis (February 19, 1868 - October 19, 1952). Ethnographer, anthropologist, self taught photographer. Curtis attained a stature which even surpassed the praise of supporters, investors and critics of his time. Curtis' camera thoroughly shattered negative misconceptions of Indigenous Americans that would later saturate cinema. Curtis was born near Whitewater, Wisconsin and ended his formal education in the sixth grade. Soon thereafter he built his own camera and taught himself to expose and develop film and to make photographic prints. In 1898 a chance event radically altered the direction of Curtis’ life. During an extended season spent photographing on Mount Rainier, Curtis rescued a group of lost mountaineers. The party included several members who were nationally recognized for their work in the areas of conservation, Indian ethnography and publishing. Among them were head of forestry, Gifford Pinchot, Chief of the U.S. Biological Survey, C. Hart Merriman, and naturalist, conservationist, and renowned Indian authority George Bird Grinnell. Among the significant Curtis treasures in this auction is an essay of unusually rare, unseen portraits and self-portraits of Edward Curtis the man. The noble humility of the man behind the camera is revealed in front of the camera, such as a portrait by J.T. Poe and "Ultra-Rare" group self-portraits done by Curtis of he and Apsaroke men on the trail and at General Custer's monument, offered here in baryta prints. The latter evoking scenes reminiscent of the 1969 film "The Wild Bunch" by Sam Peckinpah. Register and bid on important North American Indian photographs commemorated in Photographica_XLI along with desirable architectural, novelty and landscape images.
