Old blind man winding yarn with a young girl watching, Arizona, ca.1898

Photograph of an old blind man winding yarn with a young girl watching, Arizona, ca.1898. The blind man sits on the floor with the yarn wound between his foot and his knee. He only wears a loin-cloth, while sitting on the ground holding a ball of yarn in his hands. He has long gray hair, squinted eyes, and a skinny frame. A young girl with a blanket over her head sits on the ground to the left. The two sit in the shade of the adobe building behind them. There are many items on the floor around them including a stick and several pots.
