DescriptionA long winding train of horses with riders on the ground holding their reins are assembled in a large arch on an inclining foothill in New Mexico. In the center of the arch are six horses laden with bundles on their backs. There are also five scattered cowboys with their horses in the arch.

Silver mirroring and emulsion deterioration is occurring on the glass plate creating color distortion and emulsion loss.
