Portfolio I, Plate 34: The Blanket Weaver-Navaho

Edward S. Curtis

Cleveland Museum of Art

Sepia-toned photograph of a woman sitting on the ground, weaving on a loom. The loom is made of wood and has strings hanging from a horizontal beam that is supported by two vertical poles. The woman is sitting in front of a large tree with a curved branch that extends over her head. She is wearing a long dress and has her hair covered. The ground around her is dirt, and there are some rocks and other objects scattered about. In the background, there is a blurry view of a tent or other structure. The overall atmosphere suggests a rural or outdoor setting, possibly in a Native American community.
