PHOTOGRAVURE 17 5/8'' x 13'', Edward Curtis (1868-1952), WA. ''The Seaweed Gatherer''. ''1915 copyright'' by Edward Curtis; produced by John Andrew & Son. Numbered #369 upper left. Double matted and placed in a wood frame. 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''.
