Portfolio I, Plate 28: Cañon de Chelly-Navaho

Edward S. Curtis

Cleveland Museum of Art

A sepia-toned photograph of people on horseback walking through a sandy area on the bottom third of the image. The people are silhouetted against the landscape. The background has a massive rocky cliff on the left and more rock formations on the right, taking up the top two-thirds of the image. The sky above the rock formations appears hazy and light. The image is framed by a thin off-white border with slightly darker edges. The bottom left corner contains the text "Cañon de Chelly - Navaho". The bottom center contains the text "From Copyright Photograph 1904 by E.S. Curtis". The bottom right corner contains the text "Photographed by John Andrew Glover".
