Includes studio portraits of San Francisco citizens, celebrities, and unidentified individuals. Numerous poses of the same sitter are often present, and a variety of studio backdrops and props are featured. Some images include a photographic view inserted in the studio backdrop to simulate a window with a view behind the sitter. Also present are a bar interior and several views of flower arrangements. First several images are identified, in later hand, as Mr. and Mrs. Tabor [sic], Wm. Tabor, and Mrs. Tabor's mother, however they appear to be photographer I.W. Taber and wife.
