Tamástslikt Cultural Institute will open a display of images by National Geographic photographers that capture the spirit and majesty of the American West.
The display, which opens Friday, Aug. 22, features 175 iconic, rare and never-seen-before photographs and chronicles the epic history and grandeur of the region.
The earliest photographs of the American West were published in National Geographic magazine in 1889, setting the stage for the images captured by such photographers as William Albert Allard, David Alan Harvey and Joel Sartore. In addition to these renowned photographers, images by early photographers such as Edward S. Curtis and William Henry Jackson also appear.
“This exhibit gives a small hint of the scope and significance of the National Geographic holdings,” says James McNutt, president and CEO of the National Museum of Wildlife Art of the United States. “From that it is only possible to guess at the impact of millions of such images disseminated through National Geographic magazine and other media.”
