| Description |
Series of titled views documenting the landscape of the White Mountains in New Hampshire include, "Pillar of snow, Tuckerman's
Ravine, August 28, 1861," "Mt. Washington Carriage Road, at ledge--looking down," and "Interior of snow arch--Tuckerman's
Ravine, August 14, 1862". 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 Mount Washington, part of the Presidential Range, and Tuckerman's Ravine, located on the east side of Mount Washington.
They include three men surveying a large block of ice in the ravine; a horse-drawn carriage pulling a man up an inclined dirt-road;
and an expedition party sitting and standing with walking sticks from the interior of a cave filled with rocks.
