Please Note: We have been notified by Cardozo Gallery that this is not their 150th Anniversary Edition and is not from their gallery therefore we are uncertain of the vintage & origin of this goldtone. EDWARD SHERIFF CURTIS (American, 1868-1952) CANYON DE CHELLY – NAVAHO, 1904 – 150th ANNIVERSARY EDITION GOLDTONE.Goldtone Housed in a contemporary wood frame Signed lower left “Copyright 1904 E S Curtis” NOTE: According to Cardozo’s website this goldtone was produced using Curtis’s original plate and being a limited edition made by Cardozo Fine Arts. “Canyon de Chelly (pronounced “chay”, after the Navaho “Ta Sh_”) was one of the most sacred places for the Navaho and remains so to this day. It is located in Northeastern Arizona in the heart of Navaho country. Of Curtis’ 50,000 negatives this is considered to be one of his ten most important and powerful. The insignificance of man relative to nature is clearly illustrated through the sheer size (approximately 1,000 feet high) of enduring cliff formations that surround the riders. Canyon de Chelly is regarded as Curtis’ single most popular goldtone today and the contemporary Goldtone captures the subtleties and richness of the original negative in a way that was impossible a hundred years ago.” SIZE: Image: 18″ x 22″.
