United States, Southwest
1890s
Albumen print on album page
6 3/4 × 9 3/4" (17.15 × 24.77 cm)
Provenance: Private collection, Phoenix, Arizona
This albumen print shows a group of Southwest Native artifacts arranged on a woven textile, including stone implements, pottery, ornaments, and small worked objects. The anonymous photograph reflects a late nineteenth-century collecting practice in which archaeological and ethnographic materials were grouped for visual documentation. No single tribal or cultural attribution should be assigned beyond the broader Southwest identification without further supporting information.
The arrangement gives a clear view of object forms, surfaces, and relative scale, with the textile functioning as both display surface and visual background. The image appears to come from an album page, with the reverse noted separately in available documentation. As a historical photograph, it records how Native material culture from the Southwest was collected, organized, and photographed in the late nineteenth century.
