Bishop,CA - Inyo County - c1905 - Street Scene in Bishop Photograph :
Old West photo of a candid street scene in Bishop. Horse and buggies and milling pedestrians fill the streets. This photo exemplifies the start of a new era in the American West. The photo measures 9.5"x5.75" no matte, medium to high contrast, and the focus is sharp. Geo. W Neill's French Candy Store reads clearly in the background. The lower right corner of the photo is torn. Very little of the tear reaches the actual photo. Andrew Alexander Forbes is the photographer. Forbes is known for his classic cowboy life photos ranging from Oklahoma to California. He had a studio in Bishop from 1902 to 1916, but is known to have photographed the town in the 1890s.
