• Carrying Water to the Pueblo •
From a very early age, Hopi women were taught to balance heavy jars and pottery on their heads. This image depicts a young woman. cloaked in a blanket, with a large pottery jar.
Edward S. Curtis is considered to be one of the finest photographers of the early 20th century. For almost 30 years, beginning in 1900, Curtis traveled the West with his camera, intent on documenting the vanishing traditions and lives of various Native American tribes. Curtis was able to capture images that provide a rare glimpse into the life of the American Indians.

All sizes shown are approximate. Matted maps or prints are smaller than the "matted" dimensions shown by about 6".
All of our authentic, more than 100-year old, maps and prints come double matted within museum quality, archival rag mat boards at NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE.
Due to the INCREDIBLY high shipping prices charged for OVERSIZE shipping, shipping charges may be higher than quoted for items that measure more than a total of 70" (matted height + width). For example a matted piece measuring 32" x 40" would be considered OVERSIZE (72"). For complete delivery information, see Information page.
All our authentic antiques are one-of-a-kind items. Since they are actual old works of art expect small imperfections. In some cases we may have more than one of a particular map or print. Since each is unique they may vary slightly from the item shown (when we have more than one if a particular item, the colors may be different than those shown). Each antique map or print has been dry cleaned by hand and are conservation mounted and protected in attractive rag mats. Every work in our gallery carries a lifetime guarantee of authenticity (authentic antiques only) and a 30-day satisfaction guarantee (see Information page for details).
