Curtis’s most iconic image and the opening plate of his life’s work. A line of Navajo riders moves away into a soft, atmospheric haze, their forms dissolving into the landscape. The photograph became the visual symbol of the entire project—the idea of a people “passing into the darkness of an unknown future.” Image size approx. 11¼ × 15¼ inches.A foundational and highly desirable
