• Contains 178 albumen and gelatin silver photographs (ranging from 23 x 19 cm. to 5 x 7 cm.) of New Mexico and Arizona, including cities, landscapes, Indian ceremonies and customs, and pueblos. The album consists of what are apparently snapshots taken by members of a touring party, along with photographs by professional photographers, notably W.A. White. 75 prints feature views of Native Americans and pueblos, including the Hopi and Zuni and identifiable pueblos at Taos, New Mexico and Walpi, Arizona. Some topics include dance, including what is very likely the San Geronimo (St. Jerome) feast at Taos and either the Snake or Flute Dance at Walpi; 69 prints feature views of the surrounding landscapes, modes of travel, or members of the traveling party; 21 prints feature "typical" scenes from daily life in and around the areas visited, including scenes of farming, ranching, and cityscapes (of which Albuquerque, New Mexico is known); 13 prints feature mission churches, among which the San Miguel Mission, Church of San Felipe, and Old Parish Church at Taos are identifiable.
