Scope and content
Photograph depicts A'ts'ina ("place of writing on the rock" in Zuni) in El Morro, New Mexico. The site is also referred to as the El Morro National Monument or Inscription Rock, and consists of a sandstone promonotory upon which travelers for several centuries have left inscriptions. The inscription shown in this photograph is in an unknown language, perhaps Zuni or Spanish. Maude has translated the text on an inscription on the back of the photograph as "On the 28th day of Sept in the year 1737 reached here the most ilustrious Senori Doctor Din Mrn Elizavochea Bishop of Durango and on the 29th day passed to Zuni."
