Included in this lot are two Carl Moon photos with original frames, circa 1900. Carl Moon (originally spelt Karl) was born in Wilmington, Ohio in 1878. Moon became a photographer, painter, and illustrator. He moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico as a young man, where he operated a photography studio. In 1907, Moon moved into the Grand Canyon headquarters of Fred Harvey to manage Harvey's art business. He studied landscape painting and took many photographs and films of Pueblo Indians. The first photograph in this lot is titled "The Corn Song", depicting a man playing flute while another man listens. The second print is titled "The Story Teller, Taos- Indian Legends", depicting three Native Americans ranging from a young child to an old man. The back of this print is marked "Legends of Long Ago". Both are expertly placed into a wooden frame. Both pieces are in good condition for their age, showing some damage on the back of the frames. The frames measures 7 1/2" by 9 1/4".
