Description

Photograph of an old Walapai Indian couple with cactus fruit, Kingman, Arizona, 1902. The old man is sitting on a stool or box covered by a striped blanket. He is wearing a checkered vest over a light shirt and trousers. A patterned bandana is tied around his neck. A hat sits on his head. He is wearing shoes. His dark hair has bangs in front and is cropped straight across at his neck. He holds a small cactus fruit in his right, in his lap. He is turned slightly to his right. The old woman sits on the ground at his right. She is wearing a long checkered dress under a striped blanket or shawl pulled about her shoulders. A pottery water jug sits between her bent knees. Her hands sit on her knees. Her dark windblown hair reaches her shoulders. A wooden wall is behind them. Apparently the old man was describing how he gathers and prepares the cactus fruit for eating.
