A small (5.25" x 5.5") hand-made paper book with hand-drawn illustration backdrops to pasted photographs of Bandelier National Park in New Mexico, made by local artist and photographer Lorraine Klinger.  The ancestors of modern Pueblo people built thriving communities in the area called Bandelier about 600 years ago. Several thousand Ancestral Pueblo dwellings are found among the pink mesas and sheer-walled canyons at Bandelier and the best-known archeological sites there, in Frijoles Canyon near the Visitor Center, were inhabited from the 1100s into the mid-1500s.
