Visit to Their Old Hunting Grounds (from Hosack Album)

John Ludlow Morton

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Sepia-toned drawing of five people wearing traditional Native American clothing and headpieces, on a hillside. One person sits on the left, one sits on the right, one kneels on the far right and two stand in the center. The standing figures wear a long drape or cloak. The background shows a distant landscape likely featuring a river and buildings. The image includes a thin border with darker lines on a lighter background. Handwritten text at bottom reads "visit to their old hunting grounds."
