This picture is dated 1887, when Arizona was still a territory of the United States, a status it held from 1863 until statehood in 1912. The record gives no further detail about its subject, so it is best read alongside the territory's history. In the 1880s the Grand Canyon was remote and hard to reach, with few visitors and no railroad to the rim; that would not come until 1901. Images from this period often framed the territory as a land of canyons, deserts and mining camps, and pictures of the canyon were part of how eastern audiences first came to know the region.
