In the early 1900s, an American photographer from Seattle embarked on a project of epic proportions. He drove along the west coast of North America and captured on film pictures of indians from tribes that were not yet touched by Western civilization by that time. These are amazingly beautiful faces, their eyes convey incredible fortitude and self-esteem. These are really great photos.
Photographer Edward S. Curtis (Edward S. Curtis) received financial assistance for his project from a very wealthy man J. P. Morgan, which allowed Curtis to visit more than 80 tribes over 20 years. During this time, he made more than forty thousand photographs, ten thousand audio recordings (for phonograph) and a huge number of sketches and notes. This large-scale project allowed the residents of the 21st century to see such beautiful faces of a bygone era and learn about their culture, which is now more and more amenable to globalization.
Of course, among the 40,000 photographs of Edward Curtis there are not only portraits, but also pictures of everyday life, ceremonies, rituals and numerous things that surrounded these people. You can learn more about this project from our previous article about this epic work of the photographer.
