Photo by R. E. Wood, who was a traveling a landscape stereo photographer from Santa Cruz active from 1875-1905. Each photo measures 3"x 4" on 7" x4" tan matte. Contrast is low to medium and focus is sharp. Slight wear on the photos with age marks throughout. The bottom right corner of the right photograph is bent slightly. The matte has little wear with the sides. The stereoview shows a busy view of Bodie's main street. Two men stand next to a freight team. In the background the Occidental Hotel can be seen. 1878 was at the very beginning of Bodie's first great rush. In a quick survey (by the consignor), there was found perhaps 7-11 different Bodie stereos in private hands and a similar amount in institutions. FH doesn't think a Bodie stereoview has been on the market for at least a dozen years . It makes sense that the Bodie stereos are rare because they were basically made at the end of the popular stereo period. This piece dates from September 1879._x000D_ State:California City:Bodie Date:1879 Provenance:
