Curtis depicts a Tewa woman from the Santa Clara Pueblo in New Mexico. Titled \"The Potter – Santa Clara,\" it captures the meticulous polishing of a vessel—a tactile ritual essential to the clay's renowned finish. The work was originally curated as Plate 602 in Volume XVII of the landmark series, The North American Indian.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece is a significant large-format portfolio plate, a rare alternative to the smaller text-bound versions. Rendered on heavy Van Gelder Dutch paper, the image is physically pressed into the fibers, leaving a distinctive recessed indentation or plate mark. This large-scale format showcases the full breadth of Curtis's technical mastery, preserving the natural textures and cultural narrative with exceptional clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cheader\u003e\u003c\/header\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCREATOR\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eEdward S.

The photographs presented daily activities, customs, and religions of a people he called “a vanishing race.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePHOTOGRAVURES | The vast majority of his prints, approximately 98%, were printed as photogravures, and virtually all them were produced for The North American Indian. 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":49793097892077,"sku":"Posters SKU 094","price":8500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0018\/9425\/2633\/files\/edward-s-curtis-the-potter-santa-clara-photogravure-photography-native-american-1905-1.jpg?v=1776710185","url":"https:\/\/s16home.com\/products\/edward-s-curtis-the-potter-santa-clara-photogravure-1905","provider":"S16 Home","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
