Native Americans

(25th Anniversary Special Edition). (Icons series). At the turn of the 19th/20th century, American photographer Edward S. Curtis (1868-1952) started on his 30-year project to produce a monumental study of the North American Indians.

The most important images of Curtis' work have been included in this compact homage to the great photographer. Text in English, German, French. Biography, Photo Credits. Illus., photos. 192p.
