Title:
[View of main street of Forest (Forest City, Calif.), with inhabitants and a daguerreian room visible.]
Abstract:
Right reading bird's-eye view of the town, with numerous townspeople in the street and a dog jumping on a man. Large building
at left houses a haberdashery with pants and boots hung outside, and also bears sign "Daguerrean [sic] Room", where several
men examine a board, presumably displaying samples, near front door. Gold mines in background. Snow on distant hillside and
bare trees suggest springtime. For a view of the small residence next to the commercial building, see the ambrotype numbered
1986.017:002.
