Description

Photographic portrait of a Chemehuevi Indian woman carrying a child on her back, ca.1900. The woman is shown from her waist up. The baby, whose head is peeking around the woman's right arm, is wearing a knitted cap. The woman is wearing a polka dot and striped dress under a plaid blanket wrapped around her torso and fixed with a safety pin in front, and a print kerchief around her head and knotted under her chin. She is standing outside, facing the right with her head turned to her right toward the camera. She has a grin on her face.
