Photograph with two pages of Edward S. Curtis field notes
Height 8.5 in / 21.6 cm
Width 6.5 in / 16.5 cm
Provenance: Christopher Cardozo collection
This archive includes a photograph of a Mojave woman together with two pages of Edward S. Curtis field notes. Dated 1903, the material relates to Curtis’s early work among Native American communities before the full publication of The North American Indian. The Mojave subject gives the archive a clear cultural and historical connection within Curtis’s Southwestern fieldwork.
A similar Mojave image is associated with the period that helped bring J. P. Morgan’s financial support to Curtis in 1906. The field notes make this object especially useful as documentary material, connecting the photograph to Curtis’s working process rather than to the finished publication alone. With provenance from the Christopher Cardozo collection, the archive has a direct connection to a major Curtis-related collection.
