Description
Photograph of two Washoe Indian mothers carrying papooses on their backs, ca.1900. The two women are facing away from the camera and have large papoose carriers strapped to their backs. The women are wearing long dresses, long-sleeved shirts, and cloths over their heads. Their babies' faces are visible beneath woven shades over heads. The two women are standing in front of a picket fence, and behind the fence is dense brush. Text written onto the image between the two women reads "Two of a kind. Copyright 1900. Smith Carson".
