"6359 State Capitol Sacramento Cal." in negative at lower edge. Isaiah West Taber 1830-1912 bounced between the east and west coasts as a youth. After opening his first studio in Syracuse New York he returned to California where he eventually established the "Taber Gallery" at No. 12 Montgomery Street in 1871. His business was quite successful with a stock of over 30000 Western views though many were the unacknowledged works of others. When the San Francisco earthquake led to the destruction of his vast collection his business folded. This image is not at Berkeley nor on Calisphere but is similar to "The Capitol Sacramento Cal. B 2369" at Berkeleyexcept this image is taken closer to the entrance with people in the distance at the steps and provides a more powerful view. Taber unknown
