280 pp. Notes and essays, list of photographs. Photographically illustrated. (Oblong folio) 11¼x14¼", sepia illustrated paper covered boards. First Edition. The Stanford Albums consist of one hundred and fifty-seven “mammoth-plate” mounted albumen photographs produced by Carleton Watkins (1829-1916) held by the Department of Special Collections in the Stanford Libraries. They were originally housed in three albums purchased from Watkins by Milton Slocum Latham (California Congressman, Governor, and Senator), likely between 1876 and 1879 as a gift for his wife, Mary “Mollie” Latham. It is not known if the Lathams selected prints for later binding or acquired the three albums as pre-selected sets. The original album groupings are Photographs of the Pacific Coast, Photographs of the Yosemite Valley and Photographs of Columbia River and Oregon.
