1880réf. 18079Pueblo Laguna N.M. 1880-1881. A Stunning View of a New Mexico Pueblo Taken on the Bureau of American Ethnology Expedition of 1880-81 A fine view of Pueblo Laguna taken by the important frontier photographer Jack Hillers during the Bureau of American Ethnology Expedition of 1880-81. Hillers' work was made famous by Frederick S. Dellenbaugh in his book CANYON VOYAGE. After learning the art of photography from professionals such as E.O. Beaman and James Fennemore photographers on the early Powell expeditions Hillers became the official photographer with the Powell expeditions of 1872-76 and 1878 recording many beautiful images in Arizona and southern Utah. He eventually surpassed his instructors in both technique and artistic sense and this image from a New Mexico pueblo reflects his advancing photographic skill. The image is of the pueblo at some distance but it is nevertheless clear and sharp. "Jack Hillers emerged as an outstanding practitioner of the wet-plate trade" - Goetzmann.

Good Wraps are lightly edgeworn/scuffed/smudged; textblock edges are lightly worn/scuffed/smudged; interior is clean; binding is solid. Golden-colored wraps with b&w-photo illustration and black and white lettering; xxiii 370 pp.; richly illustrated. This volume presents selected material associated with potters' workshops and pottery production from some 14 Early Iron Age contexts northwest of the Athenian Acropolis that range in date from the Protogeometric through Archaic periods. Located in the area that was to become the Agora of Classical Athens these deposits establish that the place was used for industrial activity until it was formally transformed into the civic and commercial center of the city in the early 5th century B.C. The Early Iron Age potters' debris published in this volume sheds light on many aspects of pottery production in prehistory as well as in the Classical and later periods. The material includes test-pieces wasters and other production discards. There is also a reassessment of the evidence associated with the kiln underlying the later Tholos. -- Amazon website description. American School of Classical Studies at Athens paperback books
