Sketch for "Winter Scene, Yosemite" and "Yosemite Winter Scene" (recto); Yosemite Sketch (verso), Albert Bierstadt, graphite on wove paper
In this black and white photograph, four men use a pully system to lift a piece of metal onto part of a bridge. A portion of the lettering on the bridge can be seen on the support beam on which they stand, reading "RICAN BR."
Family Portrait, ambrotype
In this circular, black and white print, a single figure carries a filled sack over a makeshift wooden bridge toward a two story watermill building with a water wheel on the side. The river powering the wheel runs along the bottom right of the print, while fields undulate twoard a distant group of buildings beyond the figure carrying the sack. At the bottom of the print is a small still life with implements related to grain milling--two ears of corn, a winnowing basket, a large sack, a basket, and a scoop.
