Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

The Western Views photograph album consists of albumen prints taken by photographers W.H. Jackson, C.R. Savage, and I.W. Taber from the 1870s to the early 1880s. Most of the photos show scenes along the Denver & Rio Grande or Central Pacific Railroads in California, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah. Also included are images from Santa Fe, Salt Lake City, San Francisco, and the Grand Canyon.

The album was purchased from Amalgre Books (Bloomington, Indiana) in 1998. The photo descriptions were copied exactly as they appear on the photograph. The prints were removed from the album to prevent mechanical damage to loose prints and because the album pages were composed of highly acidic wood pulp paper. The original album can be found in Box 2.
