About this work

This photo shows a person walking beside a donkey loaded with sticks and branches. The person wears a long coat, head covering, and holds a stick. The background has a simple building and a hazy landscape. The ground looks dry and dusty. The donkey is carrying what looks like firewood, hinting at daily life in a rural area. The photo’s title, *A Load of Fuel - Zuñi*, suggests it was taken near the Zuñi Pueblo. Next, check out the work of Edward S. Curtis (American, 1868–1952).
