DescriptionA man in a dark suit in an English style and wearing a bowler hat stands to the left of a group of three Isleta women at Isleta Pueblo in New Mexico. The three women are wearing mantas and white leg wrappings. One carries a large ceramic pot balanced on her head. An adobe wall surrounds a yard of an adobe house behind them. They are all looking toward the camera.

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