Description: Identified in the negative A-90 The Coming Generation - Ward - Laguna N.M. Reverse is penciled Laguna School Children. I can find no record of a boarding school in the town of Laguna, but that many Laguna children were sent to the nearby Albuquerque Indian Boarding school. While the basket is a nod to tradition, every other detail of their dress reads Western influence / integration. Boy wears cotton work clothing, boots & closely cropped hair. He holds a box of Cracker Jack candy for the camera, the ultimate Americana brand recognition at the time. The young girl wears a calico cotton dress & boots. 5 x 7” unmounted albumen photograph, possibly as early as 1890. Margin chips & edge tear top center, nothing interferes w/ the subject.
