  Cacti Bush "Colorado. Undated"
  Photograph of a cacti bush taken in Colorado. The cacti grows behind a wire fence. A stand of trees can be seen in the midground. Mountains rise in the background. 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.
