Edward S. Curtis American, 1868-1952
Joseph-Nez Perce, 1903
Vintage small format Volume Photogravure, Volume 8 of "The North American Indian," facing page 24, on Holland Van Gelder paper
12 x 9 in.
Joseph-Nez Perce is arguably the most desirable and valued of all the 1,506 Photogravure images appearing in the bound Volumes.
This example is from Set Number 76 of "The North American Indian," from the collection of The Peabody Institute of John Hopkins University, one of the original subscribers. The library's stamp appears in the right paper margin.
The print is in excellent original condition overall with slight discoloration from the original overlay tissue and a 3/8 inch paper tear seen at the lower right bottom edge of the paper.
