San Juan County. A peaceful photograph of a rough and tough mining town. Cabinet card photograph measures 7 1/2"x4 1/8", gray single matte 9"x6", high contrast, and the focus is sharp. Very crisp image. Minor foxing on the upper portion of the photo. Ihlseng was an assayer and chemist. 'The building in the middle of the photo is a Post Office.
