The studios of Winter and Pond Company in Juneau Alaska provided local residents and visitors with a rich perspective of Alaska that is now considered a unique reflection of the state in the early 20th century. During the company's existence Alaska expanded mining fishing and resource development into profitable ventures that transformed it from a frontier district to a thriving territory of the United States.
