Albumen print on period mount
Height 15.25 in / 38.7 cm including archival frame
Width 18 in / 45.7 cm including archival frame
Provenance: Forrest Fenn, Santa Fe, NM
This albumen print by John K. Hillers shows Zuni Pueblo in New Mexico, with the village set across the distant rise and surrounding landscape. Hillers worked for the United States Geological Survey and the Bureau of Ethnology, producing some of the earliest photographic records of Pueblo villages and Southwestern sites. The image belongs to his 1879–1880 work documenting New Mexico and Arizona during a key period of federal survey and ethnographic photography.
The period mount and albumen process place the photograph within nineteenth-century photographic practice. The wide view emphasizes architecture, landscape, and settlement pattern rather than an individual portrait. As a Zuni Pueblo subject by Hillers, it should be placed in the Southwest category with clear New Mexico attribution.
