Library Journal
Between 1900 and 1930, Edward S. Curtis created the most comprehensive photographic chronicle of Native American people and culture that has ever existed. Cardozo, the author and compiler of six other collections of Curtis's Native American photographs, is the world's leading authority on the artist and owns one of the most extensive private collections of his photographs. In this beautiful volume, which serves as a follow-up to last year's Edward S. Curtis: The Great Warriors, he compiles 100 of Curtis's stunning, sepia-toned photographs of Native American women. A plate list expounds on the subject of each picture and shares bits of Native American facts related to its content. A foreword by novelist Louise Erdrich, an introduction by filmmaker Anne Makepeace, and an essay by Cardozo round out this beautiful book, which is recommended for all collections.-Sandy Knowles, Henderson Cty.
