Chief Joseph by E.S. Curtis. Centennial edition goldtone 22/200. Negative date 1908, printed date 1999. Pie crust frame. 11" x 14", frame 16" x 19"
Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce is still widely considered to be one of the most important and noble tribal leaders of the 19th Century. He became close friends with Edward Curtis and this friendship was critical in Curtis' later success in gaining the trust of numerous other tribes. Joseph's pride and nobility and the tragedies that he and his people suffered are all evident on his face. After eluding the U.S. Calvary for nearly two years he was finally subdued and there upon uttered his famous words "I will fight no more forever…" This image is extremely rare as a vintage goldtone.
