EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Makah" was captured by the talented American photographer Edward S. Curtis in 1915 and printed in 1916. The image showcases a glimpse into the lives of the Makah people, an indigenous tribe from Seattle, Washington, United States. Measuring at approximately 18.5 × 13.6 cm (7 5/16 × 5 3/8 inches), this photogravure print beautifully captures the essence of Makah culture and traditions. Curtis' attention to detail is evident as he skillfully portrays their unique way of life through his lens. The Makah people have a rich history deeply rooted in their connection with nature and the ocean. This photograph offers a window into their world, depicting individuals adorned in traditional attire against a backdrop that hints at their coastal surroundings. Edward S. Curtis was renowned for his extensive documentation of Native American tribes during the early twentieth century. His work aimed to preserve these cultures that were rapidly changing due to modernization and assimilation efforts. As part of the Liszt Collection, this print serves as both a historical artifact and a testament to Curtis' dedication to capturing and preserving Native American heritage for future generations.
