- Lot Description
Leather album, 11.5 x 16 in., containing 25 silver gelatin prints, ranging in size from 4.25 x 7.5 in. to 5 x 8 in., mounted recto/verso on album pages. Most titled and credited in the negative. The centerpiece of the album is the work of George Fiske, an ex-banker who moved to Yosemite in 1879 to spend the rest of his life photographing and studying the region. The following photographs are included (organized by photographer):
George Fiske: Horse Back Ride, 80 Feet From Stump, Mariposa Grove; and 8 untitled photographs of Yosemite, including one of the spectacular views of Galen Clark, the first guardian of Yosemite when the national park was created, standing on Overhanging Rock, Glacier Point.
C.B. Waite: Hotel Del Coronado and Point Loma; Lawn at Baldwin's Ranch; Magnolia Ave., Riverdale, Cal.; Grape Arbor, Camulos Ranch; Santa Barbara Mission and Garden (3); Capistrano Mission Depot; Bells at Pala Mission, San Diego, Cal.
R.J. Waters: Upper Soda and Mt. Shasta; Loop, Tunnels 14 and 15, Siskiyou Mts.; Shasta Springs.
George Johnson: Untitled views of large residences, presumably in California (3); and an uncredited view of mission-like ruins, possibly by Johnson.
Even toning to photographs. Few with light spotting. Produced on printing out paper, and few have lightened. Many retain very good tonality and contrast. Some scattered foxing on album pages. Some shelfwear to album.Condition
