“SON
OF THE DESERT”
1904
“In the early morning this boy, as if springing from the earth
itself, came to the author’s desert camp. Indeed, he seemed
a part of the very desert. His eyes bespeak all the curiosity, all
the wonder of his primitive mind striving to grasp the meaning of
the strange things about him.” Edward Curtis, 1906
This is widely regarded as one of Curtis’ most compelling portraits.
The Goldtone process brings added depth and richness to this beautiful
portrait of a young Navaho boy.
