Title: Gomez de la Cortina and Alvarez Rul Family Papers, ca. 1740-1925?,
The Gomez de la Cortina family photographs were purchased by The Bancroft Library in 1991. They were transferred from the
Gomez de la Cortina and Alvarez Rul family papers (BANC MSS 92/91 m).
The Gomez de la Cortina collection consists of 32 stereographs collected by the Gomez de la Cortina family, apparently on
a tour of the United States. The stereographs date from 1870-1906. The stereographs are photographic prints, except number
24, which is a tissue stereograph. The collection contains work by various photographers: Underwood & Underwood, George W.
Griffith, American Stereoscopic Co., Pan American Publishing Co., Keystone View Company, J. J. Reilly, I. W. Taber, Carleton
E. Watkins, Strohmeyer & Wyman, E. & H. T. Anthony & Co., B. W. Kilburn, and Eadweard Muybridge. Includes images of President
McKinley visiting California, and views of San Francisco, Los Angeles, Yosemite, Berkeley, San Jose, Oakland, and Alaska.
Some items have photographer's numbers, photographer's series, date published, name of publisher, or place published. The
versos of the stereographs have manuscript notes in Spanish. A few stereographs have extensive printed captions in English
on their versos. Printed captions which appear below the photographs are reprinted in the container listing. Handwritten captions
are indicated with parentheses surrounding the text. Bracketed information was supplied for the container list.
