Edward S. Curtis by Peter Walther

Through more than 700 photos across 20 portfolios, Edward S. Curtis artfully preserves North Americas indigenous heritage, inviting us to embrace the diversity of traditions, revive forgotten narratives, and nurture a spirit of peaceful coexistence.

Peter Walther has edited various publications on literary, photographic, and contemporary historical themes, including books on Goethe, Fontane, Thomas Mann, Hans Fallada, and writers in the First World War, as well as several illustrated books with historical color photographs. He is the author of the TASCHEN publications The First World War in Colour (2014), New Deal Photography. USA 1935–1943 (2016) and Anna Atkins. Cyanotypes (2023). For over thirty years, photographer Edward Sheriff Curtis (1868-1952) traveled the length and breadth of North America, seeking to record in words and images the traditional life of its vanishing indigenous inhabitants. Like a man possessed, he strove to realize his life’s work, which culminated in the publication of his encyclopedic work The North American Indian. In the end, this monumental work comprised twenty portfolios and twenty text volumes with over 2,000 illustrations.
