“THE
VANISHING RACE” 1904
The Vanishing Race was Curtis’ signature piece and was the
visual metaphor for the core concept underlying Curtis’ entire
thirty- year project i.e., that Native Americans, as a culture,
at least, were vanishing and that it was Curtis’ over-arching
goal to capture a record of them and their world before they disappeared
forever. Curtis searched for an image to illustrate this idea for
nearly four years before creating The Vanishing Race. A century
ago, it was by far and away Curtis’ most popular single image.
Today it still remains a highly sought after classic.
