Native American Indian framed photogravure portrait entitled "Oyi-Sa-Wi" (which translates to "Ice Terrace) photographed by the iconic American ethnologist Edward S. Curtis in 1905. The woman photographed is an indigenous woman from the Santa Clara Pueblo in New Mexico. The sepia tone is typical of Curtis along with the deluxe Japanese Gampi tissue, often referred to as India proof paper. It is rare and very expensive and being translucent, it renders realistic and fine life like characteristics and depth to the original ink. Stamped in finite printing directly into the paper margins, "From Copyright Photograph 1905 by E.J. Curtis" and "Oyi-Sa-Wi (Ice Terrace)- Santa Clara"; the title of the photogravure (See images). The actual photograph was taken in 1905 and could have been published as late as 1926 in Volume 17 of The North American Indian Project. The image is mounted in a 1 1/4" curved coped walnut frame with herringbone perimeter inlay; and a soft complimentary cream toned matte all around; framed and mounted by the high preservation and conservation standards of the (since closed) "Barbara Anderson Gallery and Framing" in Berkeley, California who were in business since the early 1970's.
