Photogravure titled A Yauelmani Yokuts by Edward S. Curtis, printed in 1924 on Dutch Van Gelder paper. The Yauelmani are a division of the Yokuts people of the southern San Joaquin Valley of present-day Kern County, California, whose territory centered on the vast tule marshes and grasslands of the valley floor — a landscape that once supported one of the densest indigenous populations in North America before the disruptions of the Spanish mission system, the Gold Rush, and subsequent agricultural development. By the time Curtis documented the Yauelmani in the early 1920s their population had been reduced to a fraction of its former size. Yokuts subjects are among the less commonly encountered portraits in The North American Indian, and a specifically identified Yauelmani example on Dutch Van Gelder paper is a genuinely unusual find. From a private collection in Tucson, Arizona.
