Pauline Winchester Inman Photograph Collection, ca. 1880-1895

ca. 1880-1895

https://alaska.libraryhost.com/repositories/2/resources/469

This early Alaskan collection includes forty-three original photographs by Reuben Albertstone, Edward DeGroff, the Partridge brothers, and unidentified photographers. The Partridge views, which list Portland, Oregon as the publisher's address, may have been taken by William H. Partridge (see PCA 88) during the summer of 1886, which he spent in Sitka and Glacier Bay. DeGroff (PCA 91), a Sitka merchant, began taking pictures of Sitka in 1886 and continued this profitable hobby until 1890. Sitka photographer, Albertstone, was the co-proprietor of the Sitka View and Portrait Co. with L. Moosbauer. The subjects, mostly southeast Alaskan scenics, include Tlingit Indians, Sitka views and the Treadwell Mine.
