Item Details
Description
[NATIVE AMERICANS]. CURTIS, Edward S. (1868-1952). Unpublished cyanotype print of an “Indian Family - Ignatius Reservation”. Ignatius, MT, ca. 1910. 210 x 159 mm, corners slightly chipped, titled in manuscript in Curits’ hand. The image shows an American Indian family with a young child in a papoose in front of their tipi. This is a proof, contact printed directly from the glass plate negative, done by Curtis in the field to check his negative. It exists only in this singular form and did not appear in The North American Indian. Curtis created a large body of cyanotypes; presumably, virtually all his 40,000+ negatives were initially printed as cyanotypes, however, very few of them survived.
