PHOTOGRAVURE 5 3/8'' x 7 1/4'', Edward Curtis (1868-1952), WA. ''Navaho Hogan''. 1904 copyright by Edward Curtis. Blind stamp from the Library of the Peobody Institute upper right (mat partially covering). Matted, unframed. Intent on documenting ''the vanishing race'' of the Native American Indian, Curtis, already one of the most respected photographers of his time, took on the incredible feat of photographing all major tribes west of the Mississippi, an endeavor which took over 30 years and produced a 20-volume collection entitled ''The North American Indian''.
