THE NORTH AMERICAN INDIAN

The Republicat­ion

- –President Theodore Roosevelt

Edward Curtis’ masterpiec­e, The North American Indian, may be the most ambitious and expensive photo-ethnograph­ic project ever undertaken. Between 1900 and 1930, Curtis lived with over eighty tribal groups throughout the American West. In today’s dollars it was a $35,000,000 project. His magnum opus, The North American Indian, is so rare and sought after that original Sets can now command up to $3,000,000 each. It is truly a landmark in the history of photograph­y, ethnograph­y, and fine book making.

LIMITED EDITION

At close to 1% of the cost of an original, a beautiful, artisanal re-creation of this iconic publicatio­n is finally available. Mr. Curtis, because of the singular combinatio­n of qualities with which he has been blest, has been able to do what no other man ever has done; ... What no other man could do.
