  • Between Lexington and Port Sanilac. Slipping clay

    Shoreline of Lake Huron between Lexington and Port Sanilac, Michigan. There is very little beach before the landscape begins to rise up from the lake. The beach is covered in dune grass and debris from the lake while the sandy bluffs are dotted with trees and scrub bushes. Sand has fallen down the cliff face and left the dune exposed.
  • Between Lexington and Port Sanilac. Slipping clay. Port Sanilac, Michigan. "Thumb. Collapsing clay bluffs north of Lexington"

    Stereographic duplicate of glass slide 010_MJ_84_036c. 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.
  • Between Miranda and Fuen Major. Cliffs over Ebro

    The cliffs that surround Ebro. The landscape is mountainous and covered in trees. Dirt piles can be seen in the foreground and two prominent mountains can be seen in the background.
  • Beyond (E) Fuen Major. Cultivation on left; to E. cultivated fields

    Image of the Ebro River. A dirt road with a gate can be seen to the right of the river. A donkey with a wagon is traveling along the road. The landscape is mountainous and rises up along the river banks.

    Photograph of birch trees. The birch trees grow on the side of a dirt road. Short vegetation and other trees surround the birch trees. 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.
  • Birch trees near a body of water "Vegetation, general"

    Photograph of birch trees. The birch trees grow near a body of water. A dirt road can be seen in the foreground.
