Description We have a total of 40 old glass plate negatives that we found while renovating one of our rentals. In the collection are some pic's that resemble alot of what Asahel Curtis was doing at the time when this was taken(era)... He was also doing the same type of picture taking at that time too. When I looked at his collection online @ the WSU Special Collections, the years here showed from 1898 til 1909~ish? He took alot of pic's of people doing hop picking & berry picking & he also did ALOT of when the Railways were doing a bunch of construction here in the Northwest. I also have a pic of construction being done on the railways. Plus I have 3 landscape sceneries that if you put them side by side with his they look pretty much identicle!?
