Indian pottery made from the period the Spanish arrived to the period when the tourists arrived. “Pottery was to the Pueblo Indians what wood carving was to the Northwest Indians, and bead-and quillwork to Indians of the Plains…It was not until about 1880 that James Stevenson and Victor and Cosmos Mindeleff visited Zuni and neighboring pueblos and for the first time brought back to the Smithsonian Institution a typical collection of Historic pottery. No organized effort was made to preserve Historic pottery until the 1920s.” (From the Introduction). Pottery arranged by Pueblo. Illustrated with black-and-white and color photos.
