Reviews

[David Iverson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wonderful photographs from a now forgotten photographer of the 19th century, who recorded images from civil war battlefields to the three survey expeditions (king, Darien, wheeler) he participated in during the 1860s and 1870s in the american west and Panama.
