Edwin L. McLeod collection of Kern basket photographs, ca. 1910.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/64063983

Photos of the basket collection of E. L. McLeod, assembled around 1892-1908. The baskets are chiefly from Kern County California. Some of the photos show the baskets at what looks to be McLeod's residence; others are shown in a studio. The photos are described on the back, possibly by E. L. McLeod. The descriptions identify the type of basket, and in some cases seem to tell where the basket was acquired or where it resides. Most of the baskets are labeled as being the bottle neck type or apostolic. Some are documented as being held by the Lowie Museum at the University of California. Baskets are identified as being made by Paiute Indians. The actual baskets were donated to the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology in California in 1915. Photos were taken by Aston Photo. Also, envelope from the Museum of the American Indian, Heye Foundation, that the photos came in.

3 folders, 30 photographs.
