Springville, UT: Anderson and Crandall (Photography Studio), 1893. Photograph. Near Fine. Large format albumen photograph [approximately 40 cm x 25 cm] in a nice period ornamental wooden frame. An attractive image with nice contrasts. This has not been examined outside of the frame. A photo collage depicting a view of the Salt Lake City Temple above a picture of Brigham Young. A small banner design with the text "Salvation for the Dead" is shown above the image of the temple. These images are situated above a book that reads "Book of Life.
