Provenance: Private collection, Tucson, AZ
Photogravure titled Haiyahl, Nootka by Edward S. Curtis, printed in 1915 on Dutch Van Gelder paper, from his documentation of the indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast in The North American Indian. The Nootka — known today as the Nuu-chah-nulth — are a maritime people of the west coast of Vancouver Island in present-day British Columbia, celebrated for their mastery of open ocean whale hunting, elaborate ceremonial traditions, and sophisticated artistic culture. Named portraits of Nuu-chah-nulth subjects by Curtis are among the less commonly encountered examples of his photogravure work, reflecting both the geographic remoteness of Vancouver Island and the relatively limited number of images Curtis produced of this people. From a private collection in Tucson, Arizona.
