Edward S. Curtis - Plate 610 Zuni Girls at the River - Vintage Photogravure - Portfolio, 22 x 18 inches - In this picture by Edward S. Curtis, two Zuni girls carry water on their heads.

The pots they carry on their heads are quite large and painted with symbols and imagery. Walking along the river, the two girls directly face the camera. They are surrounded by a soft, misty light, almost hiding the mesa in the background. <br> <br>This photogravure was taken by Edward Curtis in 1903 and printed on Japon Vellum Paper. The original vintage piece is now on display in our Aspen Art Gallery.
