Extraordinary large scale photographs ( )

A magnificent collection of Edward S. Curtis' photographs of American Indians from around the turn of the century (20th), chosen from over 2500 photographs. The pictures are stunning, evocative, and of amazing technical quality. There is a brief introduction explaining Curtis' mission and the production of the book, with a legend that annotates each of the photographs, in Edward Curtis' own words, many taken from his field records.
