A spectacular cabinet card collection of different photographers from Montana, all from the classic period of about 1885-1900 from the Svoboda Collection. This collection contains more than 500 cabinet cards, all identified with the photographer's name or gallery. About a quarter or more are identified as to the person shown. At least 34 different towns are represented here. About half, 256 cards are from Butte or Helena. No other city other than Bozeman and Missoula have more than 20. The collection is a major accomplishment, even though it is markedly short on Virginia City photographers. The photographers here approximately quadruple the number of known photographers listed in Mautz, Biographies of Western Photographers. If you dont yet have this reference, go get one. It is a fabulous and extensive work of all the western states. Cities in this collection: Anaconda (19), Augusta (1), Anaconda & Granite (2), Big Timber (1), Belt (1), Boulder (4), Bozeman (35), Butte (126), Centerville (1), Darby (1), Deer Lodge (10), Demersville (1), Dillon (18), Ft Benton (2), Ft. Custer (1), Glendale (1), Great Falls (20), Kalispell (12), Billings (8), Thompson Falls (1), Virginia City (1), White Sulphur Springs (3), Walkerville (3), Stevensville (5), Superior (1), Red Lodge (1), Meaderville (3), Marysville (2), Missoula (50), Phillipsburg (9), Lewiston (1), Livingston (13), Helena (130), Hamilton (14).
