Chiefly stereographic views of Yosemite by various publishers. Most, with the exception of some of the E. & H.T. Anthony views,

of the Modoc War, 1873 (by Heller, published by Watkins); snapshots and other views of the buildings and grounds of the University
of California, Berkeley campus, including the Greek Theater, approximately 1900; several dozen early 20th century postcards
of northern and southern California scenes, a woolen shop on Sacramento Street, and several views of Lincoln, Calif., and
of Denver, Colo. A few southwestern views are present, including an 1870s(?) view of a survey party camp in New Mexico by
Henry Brown (in poor condition).
