Edward S. Curtis quote describing his Curt-Tones.
"The ordinary photographic print, however good, lacks depth and transparency, or more strictly speaking, translucency.We all know how beautiful are the stones and pebbles in the limpid brook of the forest where the water absorbs the blue of the sky and the green of the foliage, yet when we take the same iridescent pebbles from the water and dry them they are dull and lifeless, so it is with the ordinary photographic print, but in the Curt-Tones all the transparency is retained and they are as full of life and sparkle as an opal."

About Our Edward S. Curtis Photographs

The images in our Curtis Collection are created using a very high-resolution scan from an original Curtis photogravure. Each vintage photogravure is professionally conserved to restore the print to its original appearance and fidelity. Using pigment-based Canon LUCIA inks, to ensure archival stability, this restored image is then printed onto Pura Velvet 310 gsm, a mould-made, 100% rag, acid-free paper produced in the U.S.A. by Breathing Color. The print longevity for Pura Velvet fine art media exceeds ISO 9706 museum grade standards that have been developed to meet galleries and museum's longevity requirements. Pure Velvet was tested by the world's leading independent print permanence testing laboratory, Wilhelm Imaging Research (WIR) for longevity testing on the Breathing Color range of fine art papers.

This extensive process ensures that each image is skillfully created to the original intent of Edward S. Curtis.

Lazarus Editions reinforces the importance of protecting prints and insists on the fact that a print intended for long-term display should be professionally framed under uv glass to protect it on a permanent basis.
