The photogravure, plate 365 from "The North American Indian, volume 11" transports us back to the early 20th century in America. Curtis's artistry beautifully captures the essence of this indigenous hunter as he stands amidst nature's splendor. The black and white composition adds depth and intensity to the scene, emphasizing the archer's determination and focus. With his bow drawn tautly and arrow poised for release, he epitomizes both strength and grace. This photograph not only serves as a visual masterpiece but also offers insight into Native American culture during that era.
