This hardcover volume is a wonderful addition to any library..
This book will draw in readers who are interested in world cultures, along with photography buffs and historians.
Many tribes are featured in this volume, from the familiar Apache and Navaho to lesser-known tribes.
These images paint a picture, known to us now only as a historical memory.
Papooses are bundled in woven carrying packs, and men are dressed in full feathered regalia.
Atop horses, Native Americans ride on the prarie.
Women grind corn, and communities gather outside their traditional living areas.
He captures not only the striking faces of his subjects, but also a glimpse into the lifestyle of each Native American tribe he photographed.
Edward Curtis\'s recognizable style, saturated with sepia, is immediately recognizable.
Chapters on many different Native American tribes make this collection unique.
Curtis: Visions of the First Americans is a tribute to the photographer, his work, but above all to the Native Americans he photographed.
