A black-and-white photograph clipped from the February, 1909, issue of Scribner's Magazine shows four Hopi girls or young women at an entryway to the Walpi Pueblo in northern Arizona. Two of them stand in the entryway, looking up at two others seated on a stone terrace above them. All wear dark dresses with white shawls and have the characteristic 'butterfly' hair style of marriageable young Hopi women. A caption reads, 'At the Portal - Walpi.' On the back is a portion of the accompanying article, 'Indians of the Stone Houses' by photographer and ethnographer Edward S. Curtis. A small, torn slip of paper contains a partial, typed reference to a ceremony or other activity related to a 'lightning frame,' with a written attribution to 'HV,' probably ethnographer H.R. Voth.
