The Blanket Weaver - Navaho, 2018

 Item — Folder: 1, Item: 4

Scope and Contents

Curtis Caption: The Navaho-land blanket looms are in evidence everywhere. In the winter months they are set up in the hogans, but during the summer they are erected outdoors under an improvised shelter, or, as in this case, beneath a tree. The simplicity of the loom and its product are here clearly shown, pictured in the early morning light under a large cottonwood. 20x24" photogravure, brown ink, reprint from the 1904 Curtis original. Published in The North American Indian vol 1.
