Edward S. Curtis Portfolio Print/"Antelopes and Snakes at Oraibi"

Description

"Antelopes and Snakes at Oraibi" is a photo gravure reprint from the original plate of Edward S. Curtis's original portfolio photograph. This reprint was done in the 1970's and is from Volume 12. It is Hopi.  The print itself measures approximately 11.5" by 15" and with the border 18" by 22".  (CP-16)
A portfolio of original prints accompanied each set of Curtis's monumental work
The American Indian
(1907-1930). In the 1970's reprints were done from the original plate.
Originally 500 complete sets, each containing 20 volumes with a portfolio of corresponding prints, were planned but only 300-odd were actually produced.
This Edward S. Curtis Portfolio photo gravure reprint from the original plate in the 1970's shows very little age toning.
