Photograph
Very Good. Photograph. B&W photograph on gray mount taken circa 1910s. Photograph measures 4" x 9 ¾" without mount, 5 ½' x 12 ½" with mount. Photograph has very good contrast, minor chipping to top and left edges, and a ¼" tear to the top edge; mount has light wear to all edges. Image depicts two buildings with three horse-drawn carriages and 15 people standing out front. Laundry can be seen hanging, as well as milk jugs and crates in carriages and on the ground. It seems likely that at least one of these buildings was a mercantile. A couple of outbuildings or houses can be seen in the background. On verso previous owner has penciled "Eddy where Ragnhild worked 1907-1911." Eddy is likely referring to Eddy, Montana located on the Clark Fork River and established in 1824. A wagon road went through the town and the Northern Pacific Railroad arrived in the 1880's. A great photograph of a simpler time. . (Inventory #: 014371)
