About this piece
“Taos Water Girls” is an original Edward Curtis photogravure for sale from The North American Indian, showing young women of Taos Pueblo carrying water in a scene of everyday grace. Curtis’s soft modeling of light and form turns a simple task into a composition of real beauty, printed as an authentic hand-pulled impression from the original copper plates, never a modern reproduction. Its warm sepia depth and delicate gradation are what distinguish a genuine Curtis photogravure. At 14” x 12”, it is well suited to an intimate, considered hanging. Drawn from one of only four known volumes made from Curtis’s original plates, it is a true collector’s piece, an Edward Curtis original print prized as early twentieth-century fine art photography and as a gentle record of daily life at Taos Pueblo.
