EDWARD S. CURTIS | CHIEF GARFIELD - JICARILLA

This large, commanding, early print is on textured double-weight paper that is trimmed to the image. It is in generally very good condition. It is signed boldly by Curtis in ink in the lower right corner of the image. 

The print is gently rippled. Upon close inspection, several tiny, pinpoint-sized losses of emulsion are visible, primarily in the corners. There is some chipping along the edges and the corners are bumped. In raking light, very faint silvering along the upper and right edges is visible. There is very minor soiling. 

On the reverse along the edges are tiny spots (possibly foxing), soiling, and faint age-darkening.
