More: When Curtis was selling his photos in a store, he titled it “A Zuni Governor.” Also, here’s what was written on the back of the photo for sale: “The Zuni people are peculiar in this, that within the bounds of a single Pueblo the represent all that there is of the Zunian stock. Usually there are to be found a number of groups perhaps under different tribal names of the same stock, but this village is both the tribe and stock. In type, as far as features are concerned, the Zuni Indian is a little superior to the other Pueblo Indians of the Southwest.” (New York Public Library) The same image appeared in Curtis's book, North American Indian, Vol. XVII , plate no. 607, Content; No. 11 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Edward S. Curtis ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Edward S. Curtis was born near White Water, Wisconsin, on February 16, 1868, he became interested in the emerging art of photography when he was quite young, building his first camera when he was still an adolescent. In Seattle, where his family moved in 1887, he acquired part interest in a portrait photography studio and soon became sole owner of the successful business, renaming it Edward S. Curtis Photographer and Photoengraver. By the 1890's, Curtis began photographing local Puget Sound Native Americans digging for clams and mussels on the tide flats. One of his earliest models was Princess Angeline, the aged daughter of Sealth, the Suquamish chief after whom Seattle was named. Later, as an official photographer of the 1899 Harriman Expedition, Curtis documented the geological features of the Alaskan wilderness as well as its indigenous population. This was a pivotal experience for Curtis and greatly increased his interest in Native cultures. He visited tribal communities in Montana and Arizona and began in earnest to photograph many other Native Americans in the West, spending more time in the field and less time in his studio.
