I went to Muskegon Michigan today to see an exhibit of Edwin S Curtis's
North American Indian prints. It was an excellent and massive exhibit,
well worth a visit. I doubt that many PDMLer's are nearby, but in case
anyone is passing that way...
All 723 of Curtis' prints were on display - the full set. The museum
believes this is the first time the entire set has been displayed. I
wondered how a fairly small museum got this exhibit and where it would
go next. As it turns out the Muskegon public library was one of the 200+
subscribers to the original project and received the books and
photogravure prints as they were published. A docent told me that at
this time there were no plans to travel the show.
My only complaint - 723 prints plus supplemental displays is a bit
overwhelming - I plan another visit or two over the summer.
Here are a few cell phone snaps of some of the exhibits:
