Description: View of a Hopi pueblo on top of a mesa and surrounding desert, Arizona.
Title transcribed from item. Signed on mount: "© Frederick Monsen." Monsen's typed label on back says: "Hopiland. Arizona. On the crest of the precipitous mesa the Hopi towns look as if they were part of the living rock. The seven towns - though twenty miles separate the extremes, Hano and Oraibi, are built on the same stratum of sandstone. The rock of the mesa cleaves into great cubical pillars and blocks, leaving the face of the cliff always vertical."
