[Birds-eye-view Photo]: Views in Arizona (captioned title): Whipple Barracks, Arizona in 1892

Gelatin silver boudoir photograph mounted on a thick card imprinted on the verso with the name of photographer Erwin Baer and a list of 10 "Views in Arizona" (this one not listed among them). Image size approximately 8" x 5". Tiny stain in bottom corner of mount with almost no effect on the image, a damp mark on the verso, and a few tiny foxed spots on the sky portion of the landscape, very good. Captioned in ink in a contemporary hand on verso: "Whipple Barracks, Arizona in 1892 - Thumb Butte on left." The image taken from an overlook, shows a frontier fort, with several barracks, central buildings, parade grounds, officer's quarters, stables, pasture, and cultivated crops. Presumably a scarce image. *OCLC* appears not to find anything from the "Views in Arizona" series.
