Ambroise Bernard Album, 1870s. The "Ambroise Bernard Sompayrac Album" contains 101 albumen silver prints (10½ x 13"), which seem to have been cut down from mammoth-plate (18 x 22") prints. There are a dozen cityscapes of San Francisco by Watkins as well as views of the great trees and hotels in Mariposa and Calaveras Groves, towns and cities of California from Oakland to Los Angeles, and landscapes in Nevada and Oregon. The central section includes forty-two views of Yosemite.
