While many of the slides in this collection can be grouped together with others of similar or related images, others cannot. This page features such.
The Peter Iredale was ship owned by Iredale and Porter shipping of Liverpool, England. It was bound from Salina Cruz, Mexico, to Portland, Oregon, empty except for ballast. Fog, a rising tide, and strong winds pushed her ashore on September 25, 1906. Cropped editions of this image can be found on the Internet.
The reverse curve railroad bridge in the Feather River Canyon, Colorado, near Big Bar. A cut into the side of the canyon for a road is visible. Today a large highway bridge spans the canyon almost over the top of this bridge.
A view of a pier and ocean front at Nassau. Close examination of the slide reveals that this is a picture of a printed picture, for the half-tone pattern used for offset printing of photographs is evident. The maker of this slide even clipped the text from the printed page.
Nothing identifies this Russian settler other than what is written on the paper sandwiched into the slide.
Sun shades on a tobacco plantation somewhere in Alabama, or at least that’s what the writing in the slide says.
Harvesting tobacco. The location is not identified, but the building doesn’t look like Alabama. Perhaps both of these images are from the Philippines, as are a number of other images in this collection.
An unidentified statue of a Native American chief.
A sign that may once have stood in Concord, NH, where the Concord Grape was developed. The Concord Grape Association says it was developed in 1854, but this quote from Ephraim Wales Bull, the developer of the Concord Grape, says 1843.
An unidentified mansion and grounds. The moire pattern on the 600dpi scan of this slide reveals that this, too, is a copy of an offset printed image. This fact suggests that not all of the images in this collection originated with the person who assembled the slides.
