Portfolio II, Plates 40-75

Edward S. Curtis

Cleveland Museum of Art

Sepia-toned photograph of a desert landscape. A very tall cactus is on the left. It has a thick trunk with darker vertical lines, and six thick stalks branching out and up from the top. Behind it on the left are trees with dense leaves. A figure crouches on the ground on the lower center-right, hunched over, facing away with long hair. They are wearing a long white robe that drapes around their legs. A smaller cactus is on the center-right. Other plants and cacti dot the background. There are mountains on the horizon and a blank sky. The words "Saguaro Harvest - Pima" are printed at the bottom left.
