The South Side of Inscription Rock
1873
Ancient petroglyphs and historic inscriptions cover the sandstone face of El Morro, creating a natural register of human passage through the Southwest. O'Sullivan's documentation preserves this remarkable palimpsest where Spanish explorers, American pioneers, and Native peoples left their marks across centuries.
