These beautiful color collotypes are from Fewkes' renowned "Archeological Expedition to Arizona in 1895." Jesse Walker Fewkes explored numerous ruins in Arizona Territory. These plates are from the Tusayan ruins on the Hopi Reservation. Each plate shows two to six pots in lovely color. We see many of these framed for display.
