Additional Details



An examination of the image reveals that the vegetation, terrain, and early homestead architecture resembles that of northern California and southern Oregon, and compares favorably with Britt's ambrotypes. Britt was active from 1852-1905, photographing in both Jacksonville, Oregon and northern California. See:
