Curtis","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn search of a lost time: The most complete document of Americas indigenous peoples For over thirty years  photographer Edward Sheriff Curtis (1868-1952) traveled the length and breadth of North America  seeking to record in words and images the traditional life of its vanishing indigenous inhabitants. Like a man possessed  he strove to realize his lifes work  which culminated in the publication of his encyclopedia The North American Indian. In the end  this monumental work comprised twenty textual volumes and twenty portfolios with over 2000 illustrations. No other photographer has created a larger oeuvre on this theme  and it is Curtis  more than any other  who has crucially molded our conception of Native Americans. This book shows the photographers most impressive pictures and vividly details his journey through life  which led him not only into the prairies but also into the film studios of Hollywood.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45666327920693,"sku":"ByrdShop_3836539284","price":78.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9783836539289.jpg?v=1782428344","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/edward-s-curtis-9783836539289","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
