Mammoths

Master printer Peter Bernardy inspecting a mammoth print

Drawing on our archive of over three thousand original Curtis photographs we are able to faithfully recreate a select group of Curtis’ most iconic and sought after images in a unique format. Printed in an oversized, “Mammoth” format these prints are created to dramatically portray some of Curtis’ most engaging images.

Our Mammoth prints are created using a very high-resolution scan from an original Edward S. Curtis photogravure. Prior to scanning, each vintage photogravure chosen for this project was professionally conserved to restore the print to its original beauty and appearance. Utilizing professional digital technology, the image is then optimized for printing. Using pigment-based inks to ensure archival stability, the image is printed onto T.H. Saunders Waterford, a mould-made, 100% cotton watercolor paper, produced in Wells, England at St. Cuthbert’s Mill. This process ensures that each image is created to conform to Edward Curtis’ original intent.

We will be periodically releasing new images in this unique oversized format!
