Provenance: Skip Hollbrook, Santa Fe, NM
This 1880s albumen photograph shows burros outside an adobe building in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The image records a practical working scene from the American Southwest, where burros were commonly used for transport, hauling, and daily labor. Its setting, with adobe architecture and figures in the background, gives the photograph a clear regional context.
The composition is direct and documentary, with the animals arranged across the foreground and the building forming a textured backdrop. Albumen printing gives the image its warm tonal range and soft nineteenth-century surface. As a Santa Fe photograph, it fits within American West material, New Mexico history, and early Southwestern photographic documentation.
