Synopsis
Exactly 100 years ago, Edward Sheriff Curtis began a 30-year odyssey to photograph and document the lives and traditions of the Native peoples of North America. In this landmark volume, almost 200 of the finest examples of Curtis's photographs are reproduced with startling fidelity to his original prints for the first time in the modern era. Following the path laid out in "The North American Indian," his 20-volume magnum opus, geographic regions are presented separately and individual tribes within each region are depicted and described. Interspersed between these sections are compelling portrayals of those aspects of life common to all the tribes; amoung them spirituality, ceremony, arts, and the activities of daily life.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Sacred Legacy: Edward S. Curtis and the North American Indian; Photographs by Edward S. Curtis; Edited by Christopher Cardozo; Foreword by N. Scott Momaday; Essays by Christopher Cardozo and Joseph D. Horse Capture; Afterword by Anne Makepeace; Verve Editions, Burlington, Vermont, in conjunction with Christopher Cardozo, Cardozo Fine Art, Minneapolis, Minnesota, 2005. First printing. The passing of every man and woman means the passing of some tradition, some knowledge of sacred rights possessed by no other Edward S. Curtis (1868-1952). From the blurb Exactly One Hundred Years Ago, Edward Sheriff Curtis began a thirty-year odyssey to photograph and document the lives and traditions of the Native Peoples of North America. This monumental project was hailed by The New York Times as the most gigantic undertaking since the making of the King James edition of the Bible. In this landmark volume, almost 200 of the finest examples of Curtis's photographs are reproduced with startling fidelity to his original prints. Produced to the very highest standards, Sacred Legacy represents Curtis's work without compromise for the first time. Taken together, these profound images constitute no less than the core and essence of his life's work. Until now, virtually none of Curtis's photographs have been reproduced in a manner that captures the clarity and richness of his original master prints. With The North American Indian, Curtis achieved the impossible: an extraordinary 20-volume set of handmade books composed of nearly 4,000 pages of text and 2,200 images presenting more than 80 of North America's Native Nations. The photographs in this brilliant volume represent the most important presentation of Curtis's work since the publication of the first volume of The North American Indian nearly a century ago. This large, folio sized book, 192 pages measuring 13" X 10.5" is in near-fine condition in a near-fine dust jacket that is in a protective mylar wrap. We have had many books on the topic of Indigenous Peoples of North America none match this magnificent volume. Laid in is a Grand Canyon Skywalk Certificate a hint to the provenance of the book. This large, heavy volume will require additional postage. Seller Inventory # 2289
