The Harvesting Beans album contains seven photographic prints taken in 1900 by an unidentified photographer. The album features
scenes of unidentified Indian women performing various harvesting activities in an unspecified location of Madera County.
The photographs also picture papooses, children working, two young men with bows and arrows, an older man on a horse, a tepee
formed from a bush, and other farm structures. The type of beans pictured in the album is not identified.

captions appear beneath the photographs on the album's leaves. The interleaved papers bear the watermark of Saxony Linen and
