Material: Photogravure on Dutch Van Gelder paper
Date: 1928
Measurements: Image 11⁷⁄₁₆ × 15⁹⁄₁₆ inches; sheet 17¹⁵⁄₁₆ × 21⁷⁄₈ inches
Provenance: Private collection, Tucson, AZ
Photogravure titled Old Stone House, Diomede Islands by Edward S. Curtis, printed in 1928 on Dutch Van Gelder paper, from the final years of The North American Indian. The Diomede Islands sit in the middle of the Bering Strait barely two miles from the Russian coast, among the most remote communities Curtis documented. This image stands apart from the portrait subjects that dominate Curtis's work, offering instead an intimate record of the stone dwelling traditions that sustained Iñupiaq life at the edge of the North American continent for centuries. Late-period Curtis photogravures of Alaskan architectural subjects on Dutch Van Gelder paper are genuinely uncommon. From a private collection in Tucson, Arizona.
