Native American Portraits presents a factual, anecdotal, and visual history of the evolving artistry and technology of a century of photographers, as well as of the tribes whose vanishing trappings and traditions they sought to capture with their craft. The photographers -- William Henry Jackson, Camillus Fly, Carleton Watkins, and Lee Moorhouse, among scores of others -- were intrepid adventurers, fiercely committed to their work, who hauled hundreds of pounds of photographic equipment across the mountains and faced many dangers; their subjects -- including such important warriors as Sitting Bull, Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce, Red Cloud, Geronimo, and Chief Gall (who led the Indians to victory against Custer) -- appear venerable, dignified, and beaten. Fascinating and provocative, this richly illustrated and painstakingly annotated volume documents the intersection of photography in its infancy and Native American culture in precipitous decline.Nancy HathawayISBN: 0-87701-757-3PAPERBOUND\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67999503876384,"sku":"USED0877017662","price":17.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81aAmAJBmpL.jpg?v=1793049777","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/en-gb\/products\/native-american-portraits-0877017662-used","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
