Portraits from North American Indian Life Oversized 1972 1st Ed HC

This item is a captivating 1972 first - edition hardcover book titled 'Portraits from North American Indian Life' by Edward S. Curtis, published by The American Museum of Natural History. The book shows signs of wear, with scuffed and moderately soiled covers, a fraying spine, and a slightly bowed shape. There's foxing and soiling along the fore edge of the text block, and pages have creases and foxing, though readability remains unaffected. The binding is a bit loose. Despite its age - related flaws, it offers a unique glimpse into North American Indian life.

This book is a great piece for those interested in North American Indian life. To use it, simply open it gently and start exploring the portraits. When handling, make sure your hands are clean to avoid further soiling the pages. Since the binding is loose, be careful not to force the pages open too wide to prevent them from falling out. To maintain it, store the book in a dry and cool place. You can also use a bookend to keep it upright and prevent it from getting more bowed. If you notice any loose pages, you can use archival - quality glue to re - attach them carefully.
