Scope and Content

Chiefly California views, with two Colorado mining views, one Colorado railroad view, one Nevada mining view and one Chicago city scene. Many of the views are rare and early depictions of the locale or subject pictured. California locations include Central Valley towns and railroad depots, gold country mining towns of the Sierra Nevada foothills, and rural towns such as Gilroy, Fellows, and Red Bluff. Several views in San Francisco and Sacramento are present, among numerous other places such as Oakland and Santa Cruz. Southern California views include Los Angeles, San Gabriel, Santa Barbara, Ontario, Banning, Pasadena and Redlands. Subjects pictured include store and smoke shop interior views, railroads, stage coaches, an early Gandy-Vrang airplane (1912), mines, resorts or hotels, exteriors of commercial or industrial buildings such as the Saratoga Paper Mill, town street views, ferry boats, early automobiles and early twentieth century gas stations. Four views relate to U.S. army soldiers stationed at Camp Columbus, Santa Cruz County. Three images relate to John Spaulding and his South Yuba Canal Company. Five images are of, or relate to, Native Americans. A selection of carte-de-visite portraits depcits George Washington, Martha Washington, the Prince and Princess of Wales, members of Shaw and Baum families, and several unidentified persons. One view shows the U.S. 7th Cavalry riding during their pursuit of Pancho Villa in Mexico. Forty-five of the images are stereographs by various photographers and publishers. Other photographers include Hayward & Muzzall's, E. Anthony, C.W.J. Johnson, Alfred A. Hart, J.J. Reilly, A.L. Hawes, Isaiah West Taber, E. & H.T. Anthony & Co., Downing, Rea & Rauscher, O.E.
