The three-quarter brown crushed morocco and black cloth album was made in Boston by J. G.

The endpapers are decorated with a floral pattern and the edges of the album leaves are speckled red. The album's spine panel is ruled in gold and has four raised bands. The spine is titled in gold "YOSEMITE / VALLEY" and the initials "E. B. R." and date "1892" are stamped at the foot of the spine. Album leather a bit rubbed at edges, some mounts foxed, some are wavy; a few of the Fiske photographs are faded, but overall most of the Fiske images and all of the Taber images are in fine condition, with rich tones and excellent contrast. A magnificent collection of views of Yosemite Valley, including a number of seldom seen Fiske photographs. (#166001).
