Edward S. Curtis ou le temps suspendu #[nn]

A striking visual duality anchors this cover: in the foreground, a determined man tends to a large-format wooden field camera, while looming above the red canyon landscape, the dignified face of a Native American elder — adorned with a feather — gazes out with quiet authority. The subtitle ou le temps suspendu ("or suspended time") perfectly captures the premise of a photographer racing to document a vanishing world. Created by Vivianne Perret and Mauro Marchesi, this 2022 release from 21g promises a thoughtful, visually rich portrait of one of history's most dedicated chroniclers of the American West.
