The artistic and historical value of Harvey Caplin's work is undeniable. He captured the American Cowboy and the Indians at work and play - ways of life that have changed but never disappeared from the American Southwest. His artistic talent resulted in superb photographs. One of his pictures of Shiprock in the northwestern part of the state was the New Mexico Statehood Commemorative Postage Stamp in 1962. There is double pleasure viewing his work, which is stunningly beautiful as well as historically important. Harvey Caplin's work is a rare treasure, documenting the changes which took place in the post World War II Southwest.
