| Description |
Portion of the series published by North Conway photographer Nathan W. Pease in 1870 documenting the landscape of the White
Mountains of New Hampshire. The mountains, spilt by the Crawford Notch, comprise two ranges named Presidential (east) and
Franconia (west). The scenic mountains inspired the 19th-century "White Mountain School" of painting and the publication of
several series of stereographic views in the mid to late nineteenth century.

Views show the Crawford Notch; Middle Montain (North Conway); Diana's Baths waterfall (North Conway); the Flume gorge with
Pendent Boulder (also known as the "Great Hanging Boulder") at Franconia Notch; Crystal Cascade waterfall at the Pinkham Notch;
Glen Ellis Falls; and the carriage road and "half-way house and ledge" on Mt. Washington. Views also show a stream, cliffs,
trees, and a couple.
