Edward Curtis
The Vanishing Race

1904

About the Item

Signed in ink on image with the E.S. Curtis Seattle or recto Vintage platinum print Image 10 x 13", Paper 10 x 13", Mat 16 x 20" For over thirty years, photographer Edward Curtis traveled the length and breadth of North America, seeking to record with images the traditional life of its vanishing indigenous inhabitants. No other photographer has created a larger oeuvre on the theme of Native Americans, and it is Curtis, more than any other, who has crucially molded our conception of Native Americans. In this platinum print image, Curtis captures men on horseback traveling on a remote trail. Photographed from behind, the image does not reveal the identity of the figures, rather, it's simplicity and rugged scenery function as the contextual device. Curtis’ images vividly detail his journey through life and exploration of various American cultures.
