The original caption reads: "A representative type of the Mohave men."

The entire 20 volume set and accompanying portfolios, consist of 2,232 portfolio and bound volume gravures and text, cost $1,500,000 to produce (272 total editions). At least half of the funding came from J.P. Morgan and his son, Jack, by way of grants. A portrait of an Indian man, his body half-covered by a cloth. |
