Fine Art - Native American Paintings: Curtis Archival Prints
+Add category to My Preferences
Remarkable fine art archival prints from 19th century photographer E. S. Curtis\' historic masterwork, The North American Indian.
These beautiful Museum Quality prints are produced directly from the complete 20-volume set of the renowned photographer\'s vintage photogravures stored at Denver University\'s Special Collections Library.
Rare and inspiring, these early edition photogravures were struck from Curtis\' original copper plates on fine woven tissue paper.
From an historic collection featuring 100 of the most sought after images, representing the Southwest, Plains and Northwest Tribal Nations, portraying the spectrum of Indian life as it was over a century ago. The artist lived and worked among the Native Americans for thirty years. He respected and honored the Indians. Fearing they were a \"vanishing race,\" he worked hard under very difficult conditions to preserve an awe-inspiring record. Because of Curtis\' vision, talent and sacrifice, we have the privilege of being able to see them as they once were.
Images from the entire 20-volume set are often available. Images displayed below are the images we currenly offer.
