A large-format collection of Edward S. Curtis's stunning, evocative, and wildly popular portraits of Native Americans. These indelible portraits of Native Americans by Edward S. Curtis, made at the dawn of the 20th century, have become among the most avidly collected, published, and sought-after emblems of early encounters with American Indian life. There is no more comprehensive record from the period of the diverse Native peoples. EDWARD S. CURTIS: THE great warriors is drawn from the collection of Christopher Cardoza and will feature iconic Curtis pictures as well as several little-known gems. Many have never been published as large-format folio prints. This will be one of several thematic books; the next one, slated for Spring 2005, will be a collection of Curtis's portraits of Native American women.
