THE HARRIMAN EXPEDITION OF 1899.
CURTIS, EDWARD S. 1868-1952. 29 silver print photographs, each 6 x 7 ½ inches laid down to 8 ½ x 11 inch mounts, signed and numbered in the negative and titled at the lower mount by Curtis, a selection of the images taken during the Harriman Expedition, Curtis's first large scale ethnographic expedition traveling up the pacific northwest. WITH: Fujiwara, F.D. 2 Silver print photographs, 3 ¾ x 7 and 4 ½ x 9 ½ inches, laid down to 8 ½ x 11 inch sheet and labeled as above. AND WITH: A collection of 9 5 x 7 silver print photos and 7 3 ½ by 5 inch photo postcards, purchased by Curtis during his 1927 expedition to Alaska. Includes images of Indian graves at Taku, Totem Poles at Wrangel, Sitka Indian Huts, Seal Hunter's camps at Yakutat Bay, Barrabara on Wood Island, Inuit dwellings at Port Clarence and Plover Bay, natives on board the whaler Balena.
Provenance: Purchased by Dr. Billy Utley from Manford "Mag" Magnuson.
In the spring of 1899 Edward Curtis was asked to join Edward Henry Harriman's scientific expedition to Alaska, the largest of its type ever undertaken and the last great North American exploratory expedition of its kind. Aboard the steamship George W. Elder with Curtis (who was the youngest and least credentialed member of the team) were 126 people, including famed naturalists John Muir and John Burroughs. The expedition was a serious scientific effort, and claims to have discovered six hundred new species. It was also an intensive graduate school for Curtis, who, from Harriman, learned how to operate a wax cylinder recording device, and from his colleague Grinnell, learned the urgency of the passing of native North American ways and cultures. Grinnell further inspired Curtis to pursue his grand project, The North American Indian, by inviting the younger man to join him the following summer in Montana observing the Blackfeet Nation.
At the conclusion of the expedition, Harriman commissioned a A Souvenir Album of the Harriman Alaska Expedition, May-August, 1899... to be presented to the participating members. The two volume set included 251 photographs laid in to the album, 109 of which were by Curtis. Curtis did not have an official Souvenir Album of his own, according to Mags Magnuson, but kept this small collection of Harriman prints as his personal souvenir of the larger project.
