my work project for this week, when i am not involved with glass art, is cataloging original edward s. curtis photogravures. last year i went though them all, but i did not actually catalog them, so i am doing that now. this is:
A Coast Pomo Man
photogravure by Edward S. Curtis
1924. folio 14, plate 34
this is one of my favorites of the current ones i am going through, folios 12-14, copyright (expired) 1923-1924. i generally do not like the portraits in contemporary clothing as much, but these is something s haunting about this man's expression. there is something that is lost, and if not for photos like these, maybe it would be too easy to forget what was left behind, remembering what was lost. and then it would really be gone completely.
