"'The objective of this portfolio is to present twenty photographic color prints of individuals, and family groups representative of the Pueblo Indian villages in New Mexico. There are eighteen such villages surviving, fifteen of which have contributed portraits to this series' (Wissler). For this publication the [sic] David Hare chose to photograph the Indians in their everyday dress, some in traditional and others with Anglo influenced clothing. The photographs depict predominantly men (11), women (4), and thee couples and two groups including children. The Spanish records indicate that in 1540 there were about sixty such villages in the year 1300. The combined population at the time of this publication is close to 13,000 against a probably 20,000 in 1540. The language groups recorded by the Spaniards in New Mexico in 1540 were Zuni, Keres and Tani, which are spoken today."--Bookseller's description
