http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/33332835

Photographs and postcards collected in Mexico during the early twentieth century. Half were made 1901-1907 by photographer C.B. Waite. The others are undated; some were made by a photographer with the surname of Scott, a few were copyrighted by the Sonora News Company, and most of the remainder are unattributed. Images consist of commercial travel views of street scenes, architecture, and picturesque, in situ and studio portraits of native residents of Mexico, many from the series, "Views of Mexico," by C.B. Waite; and snapshots of similar subjects. A few photographs were taken in Guatemala but locations are not well identified. Mexican locales represented in the photographs include Mexico City, Tehuantepec, and Uruapan, among others; some locations are unidentified.
