This photogravure captures Tuvahe, a member of the Jemez Pueblo, one of the Native American communities in New Mexico.

Curtis visited and documented over 80 Native American tribes across North America while working on his monumental project, The North American Indian. His travels over a thirty year period spanned regions from the Great Plains and the Southwest, to the Pacific Northwest and Alaska, where he captured the cultures, traditions, and individuals of diverse Indigenous communities before they were lost to modernisation, making these visual documents some of the most important historical records in North American history.
