This hand-colored woodcut print showcases the rich heritage of Zuni dry-farming agriculture in the 19th century. The image depicts vegetable gardens at Zuni Pueblo, enclosed by sturdy masonry walls that stand as a testament to their commitment to preserving their farming traditions.

The intricate illustration captures the essence of their agricultural practices, with fields stretching out towards the horizon. In this snapshot from history, we witness an integral part of Zuni culture - growing maize, beans, squash, and other vegetables that sustained their community for generations. These crops were not only sources of nourishment but also symbols of resilience and self-sufficiency.

It serves as a reminder that sustainable farming practices have deep roots in our past and can continue to shape our future. This remarkable piece invites us to appreciate the ingenuity and perseverance exhibited by these early farmers who thrived against all odds. It is a tribute to their unwavering dedication towards preserving their ancestral knowledge while adapting it to suit changing circumstances.
