  William Henry Holmes Photograph Album of the U.S. Geological Survey of the Territories and Washington D.C

  Visual Materials

  An album of photographs of the West (including Indians, rock formations, Colorado, Yellowstone) and Washington D.C., dating from the late 1860s to 1877. The album was previously owned and possibly assembled by William Henry Holmes (1846-1933), who served on the U.S. Geographical and Geological Survey of the Territories led by F. V. Hayden, also known as the Hayden Survey, in the 1870s. The beginning of the album has views by John K. Hillers of Paiute Indians (1873), made in Nevada and Utah during the U.S. Survey under John Wesley Powell. Next are views of buildings in Washington, D.C., and vicinity, including the White House, U.S. Capitol, Smithsonian Institute "Castle"; a construction view of the half-built Washington Monument; chapel in Oak Hill cemetery; and Robert E. Lee mansion, Arlington, Virginia. The remainder of the album contains views of the West, including scenery of Colorado and Montana; geysers and hot springs of the Yellowstone area of Wyoming (1871); wildlife; and one view of Nez Perce Indians in front of a tepee. Most views have been identified as those made by photographer William Henry Jackson during the Hayden Survey. Jackson and W. H. Holmes worked together on the Hayden Survey in the 1870s.
