EDWARD S. CURTIS. Plate 687 - Peyote Drummer, 1927. 15.5x11.5" image on 17.7x12.9" copper plate. Plate date 1930. From Portfolio 19, The Indians of Oklahoma, of The North American Indian. Engraved on plate recto: Plate 687 / Peyote Drummer / From Copyright Photograph 1927 by E.S. Curtis / Photogravure Suffolk Eng. Co. Cambridge Mass.
Curtis wrote about this: "The Peyote rite as practiced by the Indians of Oklahoma is described in Volume XIX. No Indian custom has been the subject of greater controversy or has led to the adoption of more laws and regulations with a view of abolishing it, largely because its effects have been misunderstood by white people."
