Pacific coast album
A souvenir album of photographs and printed views published in San Francisco in 1888 by Charles Peter Heininger, a stationery and photographic dealer, for travellers and tourists along the Pacific coast railways. The pictures show hotels, Yosemite landmarks, Lake Tahoe and mountain railway scenes, many turned sideways on the page, with captions naming places and lines; a designer could take their sepia tones, framed mounts and layouts of paired views as a model for vintage travel printing.
