Enlarged halftone prints depicting Apache and Yuma people in Arizona, copied in the 1970s from original glass negatives. According to the Native American Photo Co., these photographs were probably made by Richard W. Hammer, a surveyor in the Southwest during the 1880s.
The modern prints were made by the Native American Photo Co., a commercial organization in Chico, California, which planned to issue a large series of photographs made during the 1880s in Arizona.
The collection is open for research.
