Photographs by Edward S. Curtis of Native American Women

by Sara Day

This book is the first devoted exclusively to Curtis’s images of Native American women. Curtis photographed the women of every tribe he visited in many stages of life and in many of their activities. The result was hundreds of images of women making pottery, tending infants, hauling wood, harvesting wild berries, carrying water, grinding corn, stretching hides, and much more. A very nice photo collection with descriptive text.
