A horizontal cluster of dark, polished ceramic vessels rests on a textured ground in this sepia photogravure. Smooth, rounded jars and flared-rim bowls catch light from our left, creating soft highlights across their lustrous surfaces. Deep shadows stretch toward our right across the earthen floor. A small sphere sits in the foreground. Text reads "Plate 597" at our top left and "SAN JUAN POTTERY" in the lower-left margin.
