Description

This black scrapbook page contains two black and white photographs from George Sternberg's photo album. The left photograph shows Sternberg's colleagues and the hole they mined in the side of a stratified outcropping. Two men are standing to the left of the hole. At the entrance of the hole, a large shovel is propped against the wall. To the right of the entrance, three pickaxes are propped against the hill. The right photo depicts Sternberg's colleagues driving a team of four horses up a steep, winding path through the hills. One man is standing in the wagon filled with fossil specimens and is driving the horses. The other man is running next to the horses. Underneath both of these photos are inscriptions written by Sternberg.
