Taos Plaza
1927

A black and white etching depicting a bustling early 20th-century street scene with various storefronts, including a cafe, barber shop, and a general store advertising clothing, shoes, and hardware. There are people walking on the sidewalks, a horse-drawn carriage, and an early model car on the street. In the foreground, a dog walks by, and a man sits on a wooden structure. Large advertisements for tourist supplies, gas, Navajo rugs, and wool are visible on the side of a building. The artwork has a vintage feel, with attention to detail in the architecture and the clothing of the figures.
