  • DESCRIPTION:
  • This lot is a Dye Based Photolithograph, and is a meticulous restoration print, produced 'after' the original photograph. Rather than being a one-of-a-kind work, it is an open edition, non-commercial sheet-fed mechanical print, analagous to the process used for sheet-fed photogravures. The paper is 215 GSM, 12 MIL Matte, Light Fast and Acid Free. It is enclosed in a polypropolene, archival presentation pocket and reinforced before shipping.

  • Photographed by Edward Sheriff Curtis, the pre-eminent ethnographer, photographer and author of 'THE NORTH AMERICAN INDIAN'. Edward Sheriff Curtis was born in 1868 near Whitewater, Wisconsin and ended his formal education with the sixth grade. Soon thereafter he built his own camera and taught himself to expose and develop film and to make photographic prints. By age seventeen, Edward was working as an apprentice photographer in St. Paul, Minnesota. 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, publishing, among them, 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. This led to appointments to two important photographic expeditions and in 1900 Grinnell took Curtis to the Sun Dance ceremony of the Blackfeet tribe in Montana and instructed him in the systematic methods required for gathering scientifically valid information..and the rest is history.
