The powerful legacy of Edward S. Curtis' photographs of the Indigenous peoples of North America in a stunning new book

The North American Indian: The Complete Portfolios.

Few photographic works are as ambitious, or debated, as Edward S. Curtis’ documentation of the Indigenous peoples of North America.

Between 1907 and 1930, Curtis published The North American Indian, a 20-volume collection of portfolios and texts featuring over 2,000 illustrations and extensive ethnographic records. Now, Taschen presents a stunning new edition of his photographic work, offering a beautifully crafted clothbound book with a slipcase that celebrates both the artistic and historical significance of this monumental archive.
