Shoalwater Bay Type* 1912
$400.00
A rare and powerful work—both ethnographic and artistic—this print is a testament to Curtis’ enduring vision and the legacy of the Shoalwater Bay people.
Overall in excellent condition, a light patina appears on right edge of the gravure.
In this quietly powerful portrait, Edward S. Curtis captures a Shoalwater Bay individual, representative of a coastal Chinookan people whose lives were deeply tied to the rhythms of tide and estuary. The Shoalwater Bay, inhabiting the shores of southwestern Washington along Willapa Bay, relied on the rich marine ecosystem for fishing, shellfish gathering, and trade.
