Indian Day School
Taken at the Pueblo Indian village of Isleta, along the line of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe R.R. lt was taken at very short focus, showing the Indian children running in and out of the doorway. The coarse, black, straight hair of the children shows in striking contrast with their white garments. The figures are life size, and the high cheek bones of the little Indian children are very noticeable. Particular attention is drawn to the very simple costumes and the looks of wonderment on their little faces. The school house which forms the background is of adobe, a structure common to the country. Sharp and clear.

James H. White and Fred W. Blechynden, who are taking vitascope pictures for the Thomas A. Edison laboratory at Orange, N. J., came in from Los Angeles night before last and went down to Isleta to secure a few Indian pictures yesterday. They went on to Denver last night. From Denver they will return and go through Mexico and from there will go to China. Mr. Blechynden has with him a large number of proofs of very interesting pictures taken in the past few weeks. |
