Photogravure titled Southern Miwok by Edward S. Curtis, printed in 1924 on Dutch Van Gelder paper. The Southern Miwok people of the western Sierra Nevada foothills and Central Valley of present-day California are among the more rarely depicted subjects in Curtis's vast photographic project, lending this print particular scarcity and documentary value. Curtis worked to document these communities during the early 1920s, a period in which traditional ways of life had been profoundly disrupted by the Gold Rush and its long aftermath. California indigenous subjects from The North American Indian are consistently among the most uncommon examples of Curtis's photogravure work. From a private collection in Tucson, Arizona.
