DescriptionThis image depicts three dancers in a posed publicity photograph at Second Street and Copper Avenue in the Hilton Hotel in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Two unidentified dancers can be seen on either side of a woman in the center of the frame. The two dancers on either side of the woman are dress like old men. They are both holding wooden sticks like canes and are wearing ponchos. The woman in the center is wearing a dark colored dress, a light-colored shirt, and is holding a large round floral pattered piece of cloth. The inscription on the back of the photograph reads "Dance of the Little Old Men, "Los Viejitos", from the State of Michiocan - by Trio Huichol".
