TRAVELING EXHIBIT

Photogravure Portraits of the American Indian
A unique photogravure print exhibit of the American Indian.

At the turn of this century, Edward S. Curtis, with grant support from noted financier J.P. Morgan, visited over 80 Indian reservations in the west and photographed men, women and children. According to Curtis’s biographer, A.D. Coleman, the photographer’s purpose was to document the spirit and liveliness of a culture which he felt was being destroyed.

This collection of prints depicts stern-faced chiefs, old women, young girls and children as well as a peaceful landscape.
