Description
From a lot of 22 cabinet card photographs of the Los Angeles Sanitarium, located at 315 W. Third Street, and an Illinois house, ca. 1901. All but the last of the images are numbered. This image shows a view of a symmetrical landing with a staircase in the middle and branching off to the left and right, windows and framed pictures on both sides and a small table and chair at the center. Handwritten notes, and a typed copy, mention that the owner's great-great uncle may have owned them, because he was a designer and builder of houses. The images have curvature (said to be for stereopticons, though they are not stereoscopic photos with dual images). Overall condition is good: generally clean, except for edge rubbing.
