Sixteen original Civil War era / c. Only ONE has a studio imprint of a San Francisco photographer, the rest are blank. So while all but one of these have studio imprints, I do believe they were likely all taken either in San Francisco or surrounding cities, and possibly as far north as Trinity County. 4″ x 2.5″. Very good antique condition as a whole.
