H.H. Brodeck is known to have operated a photographic studio out of Walla Walla, Washington from 1880, and photographed in Alaska from April to July, 1881. He died in 1886.

Notes

Photographer's imprint on front of each mount: Photographed for the Northwest Trading Co. by H.H. Brodeck. A variant of this statement also includes his studio location: Walla Walla, W.T. Also printed on front of mounts: Scenes in Alaska. Printed and numbered descriptive captions present on many mounts. Some are oversize stereographs, measuring 12 rather than 10 cm in height. Mounts vary in color: buff, gray, and orange examples present. Six items (Bancroft item numbers 24, 31, 34, 36, 83, and 84) are not stereographic, but are single images on 12 x 18 stereograph-sized mounts.
