"Lloyd Winter and Percy Pond preserved the legacy of Alaska's past through their photographs, taken over a period of 50 years. (truncated) The studios of Winter and Pond Company in Juneau, Alaska, provided local residents and visitors with a rich perspective of Alaska that is now considered a unique reflection of the state in the early 20th century. During the company's existence, Alaska expanded mining, fishing, and resource development into profitable ventures that transformed it from a frontier district to a thriving territory of the United States. The portraits that Winter and Pond produced show the diversity of Alaska's people through the years, from the gold rush of the Klondike in 1898 to the end of the mining operations in the Juneau Gold Belt District during the 1940s" - Alaska State Library's Historical Note for the Winter and Pond Collection.

OCLC reports a few different Winter & Pond views of Juneau from 1909 to 1928, with the present example likely dating from a bit later, but nonetheless rare. (Inventory #: 3726)
