| Physical Description: | Cyanotype photograph 3/4 profile of a woman looking right. |
| Description: | Cyanotypes, noted for their blue tint, were inexpensive, simple to make and often used in the field by Curtis to proof negatives. None of these images were published in The North American Indian, but are like images seen in Volume 13: The Hupa. The Yurok. The Karok. The Wiyot. Tolowa and Tututni. The Shasta. The Achomawi. The Klamath. Because of the nature of cyanotypes and Curtis' use of these prints, very few have survived, but he most likely made one of these prints for each of the 40,000 negatives he exposed for this project. |
