Captioned in the negative in a narrow strip along the bottom of the image. A fine image a bit faded around the edges but with excellent focus and contrast. Never mounted. I. W. Taber Pho.

1880361999San Francisco: Taber Photo 1880. Near fine. An albumen photograph 4-13/16 by 7-15/16 inches of the exterior of a Chinese church in San Francisco. The building is two stories with a central entrance up a short flight of stone stairs. The second floor has a narrow balcony decorated with hanging plants and paper lanterns. <br /> <br /> This is one of several images by Isaiah Taber of this temple. This view is taken at a slight angle to the front of the building. The sign over the door identifies this as a temple to many Cantonese deities 列è–宫 transliterated as Leishenggong Lit Sing Gond Lie Sheng Gong etc meaning joss house.<br /> <br /> This view is captioned in the image in a narrow strip along the bottom of the print. This image is included in Taber's ca. 1889 catalog of the images available for purchase in his gallery. Nice image; mount trimmed. Taber Photo unknown
1880361996San Francisco: Taber Photo 1880. Very good. Albumen photograph 4-13/16 by 7-15/16 inches of the interior of a Chinese restaurant showing the entry hall opening out into the dining room which has tables and chairs but no people. <br /> <br /> This view is captioned in the image in a narrow strip along the bottom of the print. This image is listed in Taber's ca. 1889 catalog. The upper portion of the restaurant view is washed out as usual with this image not affecting any important details. The mount has been trimmed close to the image. The verso of the mount has glue residue perhaps due to removal from an album. Taber Photo unknown

1880364047San Francisco: Taber Photo 1880. Near fine. A very nice ninethenth century albumen street scene photograph of San Francisco's Chinatown. <br /> <br /> This photograph shows a sunlit Clay Street looking down hill possibly from just below Stockton Street. A Chinese man in a work apron is walking in the foreground facing the camera. Other men walk away from Taber's lens or cross the street as the Clay St. Hill Railroad cable car no. 2 reaches the intersection. Signs for two businesses are clearly visible on the right hand side. The tall vertical sign in the immediate foreground advertises Yuantang's 元堂 shop with medicinal herbs from various provinces of China. A sign farther back at the corner of the next street advertises Tai Ning Tong 太寧堂 another Chinese medicine shop.<br /> <br /> This is an albumen silver prints on thin photographic paper roughly 4-7/8 by 7-9-16 inches captioned in the negative in a narrow strip along the bottom of the image. This image is included in Taber's ca. 1889 catalog of images available in his gallery. This image has very good contrast with better detail than the previous version of this print I have had. This print is not mounted but it has small surface scars on the verso leaving the already-thin paper even thinner but intact in a few places. Taber Photo unknown

Be more organized as an institution and have regular meetings so new collections and ideas can be reported to all the members.
