Big Oak Flat,CA - Tuolumne County - c1900 - Yosemite Stage at the Garrett House Photograph :
Garrett House photo in Big Oak Flat on the Yosemite Line. Owned by Christian William Hugo Solinsky, the hotel became well known throughout California's gold country. The photo clearly depicts the sign in front of the hotel, which reads "Garret House Office, Big Oak Flat, Yosemite Stage". "Stage" is written small making it difficult to read. Solinsky operated several offices for Pacific Express Company and after 1857, the Wells Fargo Company. The photo is 3 3/4"x 4 3/4", and single matte with a decorative imprint around the edges 6 1/2"x5 1/2". The matte has a minor ding on the lower right hand corner. Focus is sharp in the middle but deteriorates on the peripheries. Contrast is medium.
