EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the title page of the first volume (1907) of an encyclopedia on the Indians of North America, featuring a foreword by none other than Theodore Roosevelt. Published by Edward S. Curtis between 1907 and 1930, this monumental work spanned 20 volumes and aimed to document the rich history and culture of Native American tribes.
