The following descriptive material reflects Edward Curtis' own personal impressions of the event photographed:
Picturesque Walpi, perched on the point of a rocky island in a sea of sand, is an irregular, rambling community-house built without design, added to in haphazard fashion as need arose; yet it constitutes a perfectly satisfying artistic whole.
Data from Wikipedia:
Walpi is a village in Navajo County, Arizona, north east of Flagstaff. It is on First Mesa in the Hopi Reservation. It is inhabited mainly by the Hopi-speaking Pueblo (Tewa), several of which (about half a dozen in number) live without running water or electricity.
According Hopi lore, the Hopi are a gathering of many separate people representing tribes from distant areas, now identifying culturally as one people. With impact of the Athabascan migrations from Canada (forming the modern Navajo nation) ending as late as the 15th century the Hopi moved from original village locations at the bottoms of mesas to the tops where these villages could be defended. Popularly these are known as First, Second and Third Mesas due to their order of Spanish encounter. In contrast, the Navajo prefer to live in small family groups now widely distributed across North-Eastern Arizona, South-Eastern Utah, Southwestern Colorado and Northwestern New Mexico. The Hopi have been towns dwellers for many centuries (in time coming of Spaniards existed 9 of them - Sikyatki, Koechaptevela, Kisakovi, Sichomovi, Mishongnovi, Shipaulovi, Shungopavi, Oraibi and Awatobi). The Hopi village of Old Oraibi, located on Third Mesa and founded about the year 1100, is the oldest continuously occupied settlement in the United States. Some aspects of the Hopi culture are in common with those of the Tewa puebloan culture however readers are warned that strictly abiding by non-Hopi anthropological writings remain too constricting across all "Puebloan" tribes.
The Hopi reservation is surrounded by the Navajo reservation.[1] While traditionally the Hopi and the Navajo have considered each other to be "enemies" in various ways they have recently become more cooperative in actions involving environmental, Bureau of Indian Affairs, and economic issues, most notably in political and contractual actions to restrict the withdrawal of groundwater by outside entities, particularly by coal extractors for use in coal slurry transport.

This is a sepia-toned reproduction of a 19th century photograph of authentic Native American Indian people (not actors) and places. It is a high quality original large-sized print on premium quality paper. The back side is blank.
From a portfolio collection originally photographed by  Edward Sheriff Curtis (1868-1952) between the years 1907 and 1930. In all was contained a collection in twenty volumes containing over 2,000 sepia-toned photogravure plates, which showed the life and manners of the old time Native American Indian. Surprisingly, this magnificent work was overlooked for years. Edward Curtis' background, led him to open a successful portrait studio about 1890, in Puget Sound, Washington Territory. It was about this time that he began to take pictures of the local Native American Indians. His sepia-toned works soon gained him fame. Funded by the railroad tycoon, E. H. Harriman, he went on a two-month expedition to Alaska, where, in 1898, he met George Bird Grinnell, editor of Field and Stream Magazine, who invited him to an expedition in Montana to photograph the Blackfoot Indians, and then later to Arizona to photograph the Hopi Indians. Curtis also gained much support from others who viewed his work, including President Theodore Roosevelt and J. P. Morgan.
Not only did Edward Curtis provide thousands of photogravures of the American Indians, but he also recorded a vast amount of interesting historical information about the food, housing, dress, ceremonies, recreation and funeral customs. This work took over twenty-five years.

Every print I sell is in good condition and is perfectly suitable for framing. (Check my feedback!!) Most of my prints are from vintage portfolio art books whose publishers compiled from the originals with the permission of the owners of the art (see copyright info above). Many of the original works are no longer available for printing so this is your chance to own a copy - without spending a fortune. In fact, most of the low purchase price is used for postage, shipping supplies, and auction fees.
Many of my listings contain both a photograph and a scanned image of the art work to show you the overall size as well as the detail of the print. Please keep in mind, when scanning images, wavy colorful lines sometimes appear, though they are not visible on the actual print with the naked eye. Also, the angle of the camera can make the image appear to be lop-sided, although my prints are all perfectly squared. Finally, images are resized in order to fit on this web page properly, which sometimes causes images to appear distorted. Rest assured the quality is excellent (if you don't agree, return it for a full refund within 7 days). Please check the measurements to ensure you will be able to frame it properly. (Again, the overall size of this print is 16.75" x 13.5", while the image itself measures 15.25" x 11.25".
