Photographer: Edward S. Curtis (American, 1868 - 1952) - renowned photographer of the American West and the Native American Indian. Title: "As It Was In The Old Days" Subject: Native American Indian - American West - Bison Herd, Buffalo. In his notes at the time Curtis wrote: "In early days, before white men invaded the Great Plains and ruthlessly slaughtered them by hundreds of thousands, bison were of prime importance to the hunting tribes of the vast region in which those animals had their range. The bison was not only the chief source of food of the Plains Indians, but its skin was made into clothing, shields, packs,bags, snowshoes, and tent and boat covers: the horns were fashioned into spoons and drinking vessels: the sinew supplied thread for sewing, bow strings, and fibre for ropes; the hair was woven into reatas, belts, personal ornaments, and the covers of sacred bundles; and the dried droppings, "buffalo-chips," were used as fuel." c.1927 Date Of Negative: circa 1895 - 1918 Type Of Print: Authentic Sepia Toned Offset Lithographic Print.

This is an authentic (NOT a modern reprint) vintage 1972 offset lithographic print on fine art paper made by the renowned photographer of the Native American Indian, Edward S. Curtis. This is not a photogravure or chemical process print - it is a vintage photo-mechanical offset print (also known as a photo engraving) struck in 1972 from the original pre 1920 Edward S. Curtis photogravure plate. Rare and out of print, the now famous 1972 printing of these photo lithograph plates marked the first time since the early 20th century that these iconic Native American images have been faithfully reprinted from the original large Curtis photogravure plates, as well as matched for tonality and color. In the year of their release, the famous photography critic and author A.D. Coleman praised the high quality of these 1972 Edward Curtis fine art plates as being the truest printing of the photographer's work he had ever seen, outside of the actual original turn of the century plates. Condition of this plate is excellent and it would frame up nicely for display. This vintage 1972 offset print is guaranteed to be authentic and comes with a hand signed CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY (COA) with unique individual registered and certified serial number from the Finephoto Vintage Archive & Database. Computer scans simply cannot do justice nor render the soft color palette and rich tonality of the actual print itself. The watermark word "Finephoto" does not appear on the actual print. READY FOR FRAMING & DISPLAY! - Vintage photography prints are highly collectible and perfect for framing and display. Your vintage print will arrive ready to be placed directly into a standard size frame.
