Gold Hill,NV - Storey County - c1870 - Vista at Gold Hill before V&T RR Photograph :
Looking north into lower Gold Hill. Photograph measures 7 3/4”x4 1/2”, tan single matte—tear on the upper right that as been taped back in place 8 1/2”x 4 3/4”, medium contrast in the center but fades toward the peripheries, and focus is good. There are three minor spots on the photo. R.J. Waters is the photographer. Waters worked in Virginia City and Gold Hill c. 1886 (Mautz). This photo indicates that he produced earlier work on the Comstock. The matte is slightly deformed and reads “GOLD HILL FROM THE BELCHER DUMP”. This photograph is a nice view of Gold Hill that centers on the town prior to the Virginia & Truckee Railroad, which was built during the first years of the 1870s.
