Curtis (18681952). Curtis is the best-known photographer of Native Americans because of his monumental work  The North American Indian (19071930)  which consists of twenty portfolios of large photogravures and twenty volumes of text on more than eighty Indian groups in the West. He took pictures of Plains Indians for over twenty years  and his photographs reflect both prevailing attitudes about Indians and Curtiss own vision of differences among the Native peoples whom he photographed. Curtiss photographs have exerted an enduring influenceboth positive and negativeon mainstream American culture. They have inspired countless books  articles  and photographic exhibitions  and they continue to appear on posters  postcards  and other souvenirs. Accompanying the remarkable array of images in this book are essays by leading scholars that place the photographs within their proper critical  cultural  and historical contexts. The scholars contributing to this work are Martha H. Kennedy  Martha A. Sandweiss  Mick Gidley  and Duane Niatum.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44952299569205,"sku":"ByrdShop_0803215126","price":66.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780803215122.jpg?v=1770158531","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-plains-indian-photographs-of-edward-s-curtis","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
