Curtis used two standard sizes, 5 x 7″ (or reverse), and approximately 12 x 16″ (or reverse). He favored three hand-made papers: Japanese Vellum, Dutch “Van Gelder,” and Japanese “Tissue,” also known as India Proof Paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"S16 Home","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50122919772397,"sku":"Posters SKU 039","price":4500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0018\/9425\/2633\/files\/edward-s.-curtis-shuati-sia-native-american-photogravure-holland-van-gelder-paper-1925-1.jpg?v=1781805913","url":"https:\/\/s16home.com\/products\/edward-s-curtis-shuati-sia-photogravure-1925","provider":"S16 Home","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
