DescriptionThe University of New Mexico's men's football team poses in a V-shaped formation in a field with a goal post behind them in Albuquerque, New Mexico. A flat desert landscape extends behind them with shrubbery sprinkling the ground. At the horizon is a mesa in the distance. The young men, likely teenagers, wear long pants or knickerbockers and white button-down shirts with ties. Some have vests and suit jackets over their shirts. They are hunched over, stacked on each other’s shoulders. Silver mirroring and emulsion deterioration is occurring on the glass plate creating color distortion and emulsion loss.
