BY DAVID HOWARD, IS AN EXQUISITELY DESIGNED AND PRINTED, FULL COLOR 178 PAGE BOOK, CONTAINING 515 PICTURES BY THREE PHOTOGRAPHERS, WHO WORKED THROUGHOUT THE LAST CENTURY, STARTING IN 1890. DAVID HOWARD IS THE ONLY REMAINING LIVING CONTRIBUTOR TO THIS REMARKABLE SURVEY. THE TWO OTHER PHOTOGRAPHERS ARE NOW DECEASED. HOWARD’S SENSITIVE AND PERSONAL PORTRAYAL, AS EDWARD CURTIS’ IMAGES SHOW THE LAST AMERICAN INDIAN TRIBES, HOWARD DEPICTS THE LAST LIVING GENERATION OF FILIPINO TRIBAL ELDERS. THIS ORIGINAL AND INNOVATIVE PRESENTATION EMBODIES THREE FILIPINO GROUPS ON THE BRINK OF EXTINCTION. MORE THAN 3000 YEARS OF TRIBAL TRADITION WILL VANISH FOREVER, WHEN THESE FEW REMAINING FILIPINO HEAD HUNTERS CEASE TO EXIST. THIS LAVISH PRODUCTION IS AN INVALUABLE HISTORIC RECORD THAT BRIDGES THE GAP BETWEEN TRADITIONAL ANTHROPOLOGY AND POPULAR CULTURE. EVERYONE CAN APPRECIATE THE STUNNING BEAUTY IN THIS REMARKABLE ACHIEVEMENT!
