Description

Framed handtinted panorama photo of Mt. Whitney and the Sierra Nevada circa the early 1900s. It says, "Mt. Whitney / Elevation 14,502" in the bottom center of the photo. The photographer's information in the lower left corner has been painted over, but it says, "Cop'r [copyright] 1913 by Bledsoe Photo Co. / L.A. Calif." It hung in the donor's grandmother's (Nora E. Miller Pauch) home in Lone Pine. She lived in Lone Pine from 1919 through 1936. There is a stamp on a piece of cardboard backing associated with this accession that says, "Detrick's Studio, Bishop, Cal." and is dated December 23, 1975. The frame is red in color and was painted over with black paint that is now flaking off.
