Seattle,WA - King County - c1890 - Denny Hill View Photograph :
Measures 8" by 5." With mounting measures 8 1/2" by 5 1/8." This cabinet card by Seattle News Company shows wear and tear at the edges. There are also stains on the photo itself and some yellowing and fading in the background. It's focus is good, as is the contrast. The Denny Hill view overlooks the city to the bay. Named after the Denny party, the first American group of Methodist travellers to reach the area and settle, the city, in spite of its religious beginnings, developed into a raucus lumber town. By the time this photo was shot, Seattle has been electrified, has paved streets, and trolleys. New construction is evident by the shore. Seattle is a metropolis in this photo.
