United States, New Mexico, Zuni
1879
Albumen print on period mount
15 1/4 × 18" (38.7 × 45.7 cm) including archival frame
Provenance: Forrest Fenn, Santa Fe, New Mexico
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. The Forrest Fenn provenance, Santa Fe, adds significant collector context to this Zuni Pueblo subject.
