United States, Southwest, Navajo
1926
Silver print
Height 14 × Width 10 3/4" (35.6 × 27.3 cm)
Provenance: Private collection, Phoenix, Arizona
This silver print by Frederic Allen Williams depicts a Navajo weaving scene, with one figure seated at the loom and another standing beside it. Made in 1926, the photograph records an important textile tradition within Navajo material culture, placing the loom, textile, and makers at the center of the composition. The image documents an active weaving practice rather than a posed studio portrait.
The photograph is arranged as both a portrait and a record of craft practice, with details of the loom structure, woven surface, and working posture adding documentary value. As a Navajo weaving photograph, it belongs within the broader field of Southwestern Native American photography and textile history. The print is in collector condition with private Phoenix provenance.
