DescriptionA landscape view of Islets Pueblo, New Mexico. Single story adobe homes are clustered together with adobe brick walls in between. A log ladder is leaned against the exterior of a home, leading on to the roof. There is a two-spire adobe church peeking out from the Pueblo amongst the homes. There is a cluster of trees to the left of the frame. Villagers can be seen scattered throughout, on the roof tops, in doorways, and crouching down leaning against an adobe wall.

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