Circa 1924
Photogravure on Dutch Van Gelder paper, blind stamp lower right corner
Image: 11 7/16 × 15 9/16" | Sheet: 17 15/16 × 21 1/8"
Provenance: Private collection, Tucson, Arizona
This photogravure documents a member of the Kumeyaay people, known in Curtis's era as the Diegueño of the Capitan Grande reservation in present-day San Diego County, California. The Kumeyaay's ancestral territory encompassed much of present-day San Diego County and northern Baja California. Their community at Capitan Grande along the San Diego River was among the most significant Kumeyaay settlements of the early 20th century.
The print was produced in 1924 on Dutch Van Gelder paper and carries the blind stamp in the lower right corner, consistent with plates from The North American Indian. California indigenous portraits from that publication bearing the blind stamp on Dutch Van Gelder paper are genuinely uncommon. The sheet is in collector condition with provenance from a private Tucson collection.
