Scope and Contents

191 x 236 mm. A view from a little below Glacier Point, showing Lily Langtry in silhouette standing on the small finger of rock which reaches out over the valley. The picture looks out across the valley, with the Half Dome (8852 feet) at the left of the picture, and snow-capped peaks of the Sierra Nevada in the distance. Lily Langtry’s presence in the photograph would date it to between 1882-3, at which time she went on her tour of America having become a professional actress the year before in 1881.
