Private collection of Mark Jacobs A member of the Taos People pictured at Taos Pueblo. This particular autochrome was first published in the National Geographic Magazine with the title "Sparkling Sunshine Changeless Taos Dreams Ever Of Yesteryear" in the August, 1929 series, "Scenic Glories of Western United States " though it was probably taken years earlier.
The caption reads:
"The gayly bedight Indian sits pensive, musing perhaps on the departed glory of his tribe, lords of the southwest on Coronado's day. Near him red peppers and plums, spread out to dry, make brilliant rugs. In the distance looms the many-terraced North Building of this peculiar people".
