Description
Wonderful early landscape photograph of St. Paul, Minnesota, by William H. Illingworth.
The view was taken looking southeast over what is now St. Paul's downtown. A number of early landmarks can be seen, as noted in the title.
Illingworth is probably best known today for his work on the 1874 Custer Expedition to the Black Hills. Illingworth failed to provide Captain Ludlow with the required number of plates of images he took on the expedition and it became a matter of legal dispute.
Illingworth's images of the 1874 expedition remained in his possession until his death and were later rediscovered in his attic.
Provenance
Minnesota Historical Society; accessioned before 1940 and deaccessioned thereafter.
