PILLSBURY, ARTHUR CLARENCE. [Yosemite Valley] Arch Rock, on stage road to Yosemite Valley. [Oakland]: Pillsbury Picture Company, n.d. [1907]. Hand-colored gelatin silver print, 9 x 34 3/4 inches (visible). Original wood frame, with brass title plaque. Overall 13 x 38 3/4 inches. Panoramic photograph celebrating the opening of the Yosemite Valley Railroad in 1907. The YVRR hired Pillsbury to promote the new line and it is likely this picture documents the first group of passengers to enter the park. A bit of silvering to image, title plaque restored; very good. (#165131).
