  • A very different print, but almost certainly the same photograph. Low-resolution scan from the University of Washington Libraries Special Collections' Asahel Curtis Photo Company Photographs Collection. 1889 is far too early for this to have been Curtis's own work; it was presumably one of the many older Seattle negatives that he acquired and reprinted.
