| Photographer: | Snow, Milton "Jack" (Gallup, N.M.) | |
| Subjects: | Wagons - Arizona - Photographs|y1939; Navajo Indian Reservation (Ariz.) | |
| Notes: | "During the century before the end of the second world war, the two-horse wagon was as much a part of Navajo life and culture as the land itself. Milton (Jack) snow had a special affinity for its form and beauty. Among his best photographs are those...Navajo hogan and wagon in the cedars, on a stormy day. Possibly abandoned because of death. …taken of the skeletal remains of Navajo wagons. This photograph is a prize-winning example. It also suggests a `Chindi' setting, for a hogan abandoned because of death." [text by E.R. Fryer?] Matboard dimensions are 20" x 16". Negative is 4 x 5". Print is dated 1939. | |
