The image shows a historical photograph of the Indian Pueblo, Zuni, New Mexico as seen from the south. The settlement is composed of multiple terraced buildings with flat roofs, giving the impression of a closely-knit community that appears to be made of adobe or a similar earthen material. The architecture is indicative of traditional indigenous styles of the American Southwest. The foreground of the picture reveals a landscape that's relatively flat and barren with a few structures or mounds. There are no leaves on the short, sparse vegetation, suggesting the photo might have been taken in a season other than summer. The sky is overcast but there is enough light to see all the details in the image. The bottom left corner holds the credit "T. H. O'Sullivan, Phot." and at the top, there is information about the exploration initiative, indicating it's connected to an "Exploration of 1873" led by a "First Lieut. Geo. M. Wheeler, Corps of Engineers Commanding." The photograph is labeled "No. 17" on the bottom right corner.

The image depicts an Indian Pueblo, specifically the town of Zuni in New Mexico, viewed from the south. The image shows a large settlement of adobe buildings and structures situated on a hillside, with the town extending across the landscape. The buildings appear to be multi-story structures, typical of the Pueblo architectural style. In the foreground, there are smaller structures or buildings, possibly huts or other dwellings. The image has a stark, black-and-white appearance, suggesting it is an older photograph, likely taken during the late 19th or early 20th century.
