c. 1910, Photograph Album of Yosemite's Big Trees, Including Many of the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias, Choice Very Fine.
With 40 silver photographs, including one panorama using two photos to form one image, all mounted on thick-stock leaves in a red cloth photo album. No name or date. Photos measure from 3.5" x 4.5" to 4.75" x 6.75"; the oblong album measures 7" x 10". The photos show various people living and working, fenced-off areas, residential homes, new telephone poles, etc. Plus numerous spectacular images of the Mariposa Big Trees (either standing of fallen) with large stumps. Many people are crawling inside as well as around the trees. Light age-toning, a reinforced front hinge with cloth tape; some warping to leaves (slightly affecting the photos). An amazing rare collection of a family's excursions into Yosemite.
