[EARLY PHOTOGRAPHY]. Rare CDV providing an early view of longboard skiers on a mountainside.

2 3/16 x 3 5/8 in. CDV on cardstock mount (toning, spotting, soiling, some loss and wear to edges and corners; mount with soiling and edge/corner wear). Landscape-oriented view featuring skiers on a snowy mountainside, with several onlookers in the background. It is possible that this view captures the start of a skiing race.

It is possible that the image is one half of a stereoscopic negative taken by Lawrence and Houseworth, depicting skiing in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California. However, the lack of a studio imprint or any further information makes this difficult to confirm.

Early Photography Collection of Jules Martino, Silverton, Oregon
