Edward S. Curtis – “Old Woman Mourning – Yuki,” 1924Original photogravure from The North American Indian.A haunting, atmospheric study of solitude: a figure completely wrapped in a white blanket stands against a dark, shadowed background, only a fragment of the face visible. Soft light and deep contrast create a powerful sense of quiet mourning or contemplation. Image size approx. 11¼ × 15¼ inches.One of Curtis’s more poetic and enigmatic single-figure plates. Desirable for collectors who appreciate the artistic and emotional side of his work alongside the documentary.Ready for framing
