Photograph Album of Salt Lake City, San Francisco, and Other City Views. The Huntington Library, San Marino, California.
Gift of David Magee on October 15, 1962.
This disbound album contains 59 photographs consisting mostly of commercial views of cities and miscellaneous subjects, dating
from circa 1870s-1880s,
including images of Mormon figureheads, Salt Lake City, Utah; city scenes of San Francisco; and some views of Native Americans
of the Southwest and
Great Plains. Also included are posed photographs of Japanese women and men in traditional dress.
Photographs of Utah depict Mormon leader Brigham Young; third president of the Mormon Church John Taylor; Salt Lake City;
Gardo House; the Mormon Tabernacle;
and Paiute Indians being baptized into the Mormon faith by Mormon men. California photographs show Yosemite; the Sierra Nevadas;
Oakland; city scenes of San
Francisco; and the mansions of Mark Hopkins, George Crocker, Collis P. Huntington, and Leland Stanford. Other photographs
are of Paiute Indians, Navajo Indians,
Pueblo Indians, Bannock Indians, Niagara Falls, Union Square and Central Park in New York City, and the Central Pacific Railroad.
Also included are hand-colored
photographs of Japanese women and men in posed scenarios, some with musical instruments. It is unclear whether these photographs
were taken in the United States or in Japan.
Photographers who contributed to this collection include Alfred A. Hart, B.A. Hawkins, J. Notman, Charles Roscoe Savage, and
Isaiah West Taber.
