  • Barns on a farm "Gilmanton, New Hampshire. August 31, 1927"

    Photograph of a farm. The farm has two large barns. Two large trees grow in front of one of the barns. The farm is located on a dirt road. Jefferson would often use the same negative to create a lantern slide as well as a mounted stereographic card. When possible we have indicated if it is a repeat image, however this is not always the case. As such, there may be a corresponding digitized glass lantern slide, and a mounted stereographic card associated with this stereographic negative within the Mark Jefferson Collection.
  • Barren catalpa tree "Catalpa tree near MSNC Library. 1938"

    Photograph of a catalpa tree. The tree grows on the Michigan State Normal College (now Eastern Michigan University) campus. The tree is completely barren.

    Photograph of an Elm tree. The Elm tree grows near a gas station. The elm tree is barren of foliage. This stereograph has been highly exposed, making it difficult to see. Jefferson would often use the same negative to create a lantern slide as well as a mounted stereographic card.

  • Barren forest "Unidentified"

    Photograph of a forested area. The trees are barren of foliage. Fallen trees can be seen on the ground.
