Studio portrait of three male students and four female students posed around a staircase prop. 

The handwritten caption on the back of this photo identifies the students as "the last delegation of Pueblos." They were certainly were not the final delegation, and that would probably have been clear whenever the photo was taken, so it's likely what was intended was that they were the most recent delegation.
