Excellent quality--a bargain!
6 frameable posters each about 18" x 12" (with no folds!)--a bargain! One might quibble with the choice of images, but it would be hard to choose 6 images from Curtis' vast catalog that everyone would agree on.

Curtis's photographs are so accomplished, impressive mostly in a iconographic way, and often evocative that they usually call for little related text. The majority of photographs in this ...
