N/A, VG
One albumen photo sized 6 x 8 in., mounted on 10 x 12 in. beige studio board, manuscript pencil & ink annotations on verso (minor age toning to fore-edges, very minor edgewear), still an excellent crisp image.
An exceptional image depicting logging camp family excursion setting on a horse-drawn wooden sledge to cross a think wood-plank bridge, featuring a consistent raised center ridge to keep the sledge centered. Logging was encouraged at the time by the demand for timber from the Snoqualmie Hop Ranch, or Snoqualmie Logging Co. Mills, in order to feed the massive all underground Snoqualmie Falls power plant. Unfortunately, the project displaced a sacred site for the Snoqualmie Tribe, or Sduk-al-bixw.
