Portfolio XVI, Plate 569: At the Gateway - Acoma is a 1904 by Edward S. Curtis, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This photo shows two people standing in a narrow, rocky canyon. The walls are tall and jagged, with shadows stretching across the ground. One person is leaning on a pile of stones, while the other stands nearby, dressed in dark clothing. The title says this is "At the Gateway - Acoma," which suggests the location is near Acoma Pueblo. The lighting is simple but effective, making the textures of the rocks stand out clearly. Check out more by Edward S. Curtis to see how he captured other landscapes and cultures.
