Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. A scratchy photograph of a member of H. H. West's hunting party lying down in the group's tent and napping near New River in the Imperial Valley.

They lie with their hands resting clasped across their abdomen and with a hat covering their face. In front of them at center, there is a small camping chair. Behind their head, a support post stands. The tent hangs over them with the bottom of the tent pulled up off the ground. Text from negative sleeve: 593. Imperial Valley, about 1908.
