Scope and Content

The collection consists of nine 15"x19" mounted landscape scenes, and two 11"x14" spiral bound albums each containing about 50 photographs of the New York Central Railroad system. Additionally it holds about 150 2¼" square negatives. While all non-railroad photographs are from the Pacific Northwest they're unlabeled and undated; an index card in the negatives labels sets of those as: "Jackson Hole WY, Rivers, Stanley Basin ID, Local, Special, Flowers & Trees, Historical, Seven Devils ID, and Studies."
