Portfolio I, Plate 1: The Vanishing Race-Navajo

Edward S. Curtis

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white photograph of people riding horses away from the viewer. The people are wearing traditional Native American clothing, specifically a head covering. The horses are mostly dark colored. The people and horses are on a dirt path that stretches into the distance. A grassy field borders the dirt path on either side. A large hill or mountain looms in the background under a dark cloudy sky. The photograph is sepia-toned with a lighter border around the image. Text at the bottom of the image reads "The Vanishing Race - Navaho".
