About This Item
New York: E. & H. T. Anthony & Co., 1871. Original stereoview: albumen prints mounted on printed yellow card stock, with an Anthony advertising label mounted on the patterned green verso of the card. The Yosemite Valley image is one of series that was commissioned by the Anthony brothers who hired photographer T. C. Roche to travel through Yosemite in 1870-1871. Featured in the foreground of the image is Roche's portable dark tent. On the verso is a large Anthony advertising label that lists the "principal places of interest" in Yosemite. The albumen prints are in excellent condition with good contrast, and the yellow mount has only a hint of edgewear; there are two 1-inch long inked lines across the label on the back of the card. From the collection of Robert N. Dennis, who was one of the most important stereoview collectors in the U. S. The New York Public Library's "Robert N. Dennis Collection" includes more than 70,000 stereoviews from his collection, many of which can be viewed on the library's website.. First Edition. Paper. Very Good+. Illus. by Thomas C. Roche. 3 15/16" X 7". Photo.
