DescriptionSeven people stand in an interior yard of a single-story adobe house at Isleta Pueblo in New Mexico. Six of the people -- a child, three women, and two men -- are from Isleta Pueblo. The two men wear long-sleeved tops, wide brimmed hats, and leather leg wrappings. Their hair is shoulder length and one man has a belt around his waist over his shirt. One woman wears a striped woven manta over her head. All the women wear dresses that gather over one shoulder and wear long sleeve dresses beneath the one-shoulder dresses. They wear cloth wrappings up their legs, multi-strand beaded necklaces, silver cuff bracelets, and have bangs with their hair pulled back behind them. The child has bobbed hair with bangs, wears striped knickerbockers with suspenders, and wrappings on their legs.
There is an Anglo man at the center of the group wearing a dark suit in an English style. He has a bowler hat atop his head, a mustache, has a single-Albert pocket watch chain dangling from his vest and wears a satchel with a tassel over one shoulder. A ceramic pot is at the feet of the man and a woman standing beside him. Everyone is facing the camera.
Emulsion deterioration is occurring on the glass plate creating color distortion and emulsion loss.
