Beautiful set of collotype prints from Matilda Cox Stevenson's "The Zuni Indians: Their Mythology, Esoteric Fraternities, and Ceremonies". These prints consist of masks, religious artifacts, altars and people in ceremonial dress. The twelve mask plates which show a single mask are particularly appealing and often seen framed for display. All in lovely, full color. Set of sixteen plates with the fine color and image quality characteristic of the collotype process.
