Edward S. Curtis

Cleveland Museum of Art

An old, sepia-toned photograph of a village. The village consists of numerous small, connected buildings with flat roofs made of wood and mud. The buildings are multi-level, with some having ladders leading to the upper levels. The structures appear to be made of stone, mud, and wood. There are several doorways and windows visible. In the foreground, a person sits on the ground. The surrounding landscape is dry and rocky, with a clear sky above. The image depicts a rural, possibly ancient or traditional, Southwestern village. The photograph shows a sprawling village with earth-toned structures.
