Type: Original Photographs (4) – Mounted

Subject: Construction, Steam Engines

Location: United States

Date: c. 1890s

Size: 9 1/4 x 7 inches (photograph); 8 x 6 inches (photograph); 8 x 5 15/16 inches (photograph 3); 7 1/16 x 5 1/8 inches. 12 x 10 inches (mounts, photos 1-3), 11 1/16 x 9 inches (mount, photograph 4)

Content & History: All four photographs come from the same estate. The first three photographs clearly come from the same work site, and have the same size mount. The fourth photographs (of the workers posed in front of a house) may, or may, not relate to the first three photographs, but I have included it because it comes from the same estate which implies a possible connection.     

Condition: All four have ink stains and other noticeable soiling, wear, creases, tears/cracks, fading, and edge chipping. Photograph 3 has a major horizontal crease that could lead to future separation of the mount. See pictures for more.
