Framed Photgravure of Edward S.Curtis 1926 Photo Placating Spirit of Slain Eagle

Description

An original engraved 1926 photogravure engraving of Plate 634 from Volume 18 of Edward Curtis' monumental book
The North American Indian
(1926).  The image of an Assiniboin native placating a slain eagle's spirit shows the respect & gratitude Natives had for the beautiful bird which had significance for them on several levels.  The image is a powerfully spiritual one by Curtis (1868-1952).  The photogravure process -- though involved & expensive --was the choice of many serious early-20th-C photographers as it could -- in numbered-reproduction -- match the delicate tones of their original photographs and had a soft velvety quality akin to French impressionist painting of the era. Curtis (1868-1952) chose a sepia tint for his photogravures. This photograuvre is by Beaux Arts and is in good condition w an anomaly in the paper at the bottom -- under the glass.  Frame dimensions 16.75" x 12.5" Sepia portion of engraving 14" x 10.25"
