  California Street "California. Undated"
  Photograph of what appears to be a streetscape with a large building. The building appears to have a large typanum and denticulation. This unmounted stereograph is overexposed making the subjects of the photograph difficult to see. 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.
