This 1927 print by Edward S. Curtis is titled The Buffalo Plains and comes from Volume 19 of The North American Indian. The image shows buffalo on the open plains, connecting the subject to the landscape and animal life central to many Plains Native histories. It should be presented as part of Curtis’s publication project rather than as a portrait or tribal scene.
The print is on vellum paper and retains the quiet tonal quality associated with Curtis’s later volume illustrations. The small image size within the larger page and frame gives the work a restrained archival presentation. As a Curtis image connected to the Plains, it belongs within the Native American photography section with the regional subcategory Plains.
