Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Book is clean with a square, tight binding and bright, white pages. Book has minor wear on the edges and dust jacket that are difficult to see in the scans. Dust jacket is bright and glossy. This is the most extensive collection ever published of the Indian photographs of Adam Clark Vroman, which represent a magnificent achievement in the history of American photography and the documentation of American Indian Life. Unlike his better known contemporary Edward Curtis, Vroman did not romanticize his Indian subjects, nor did he treat them as inscrutable savages. He pictured Native Americans as human beings, products of a living culture that deserved to be preserved. Vroman was welcomed by his subjects - Hopis, Zunis, Navajos, and Rio Grande Pueblo People - at a time when few white men were so received. He documented rituals, crafts, architecture, and family life. His portraits are stunning works of art. The book you see in the images is the actual book we have for sale. Why pay more?
