"These are beautiful, so well detailed, and I love the warm sepia tone. These are wonderful photogravures. Well done."

Steven Spielberg, Film Director and Producer Upon seeing our photogravures at a historic gallery

“The story here is not so much the subject matter. Curtis took care of that for all of us. The story here is that you now own the technique, the artistic medium of the gold tone and photogravure. These are the best prints of Curtis’s photographs I have seen. I’d like to do a comparative exhibit at our museum.”

Steven Karr, Ph.D. President and CEO, National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum Director and Curator, Southwest Museum of the American Indian
