Stock certificate #140 from the People's Ice Company issued to and endorsed by H.K. Gage, the most celebrated Truckee photographer in 1878. The People's Ice Company operated at Boca, just a few miles from Truckee. In addition, the lot includes two scarce cabinet photos by Gage.
H.K. Gage operated a photography studio located at the corner of Church and Bridge Streets in Truckee. His images documented various aspects of life in the area, including landscapes, people, and events. His work provides a valuable glimpse into the history and development of Truckee during that era. One of his well-known photographs is a cabinet card image showing a bird’s-eye view of Truckee. This image captures the town’s layout and surroundings during the late 19th century. Another rare photograph attributed to Gage features the Lake Tahoe and Truckee stage. This image, taken around 1893, provides a glimpse into transportation and travel in the region. [
