Photographers number:Unnumbered
Title:Virginia City,
Date Photographed: 1873-1876
Notes:This negative was probably photographed by Watkins and acquired by Taber before it could be published by Watkins. Taber published it with no number and just a generic title, while Watkins titles were very specific. According to Palmquist's chronology Watkins took the Virginia City views from 1873-1876. Watkins's negatives were acquired by Taber by 1875.

Photographer:Carleton E Watkins   (Nov 11, 1829 — Jun 23, 1916;  Active approx. 1853 — 1896)

Create a New Tag
  • Before creating a new tag check for a similar or equivalent tag.
  • Avoid long tag names. Use a single word or as few words as possible.
  • Don't use abbreviations or contractions.
  • In general tags should be singular rather than plural (tree, not trees, etc.).
  • Spell out street numbers (First Street rather than 1st Street).
  • If the text of a tag needs to be edited after it's created send an email request to information@carletonwatkins.org.
