The 282 photographic prints in this collection document voyages of the United States Revenue Cutters "Bear," "Corwin," and "Richard Rush" to Alaska and the Arctic Ocean in the 1880s and 1890s. The images depict the boats, Captain Michael A. Healy, Frank A. Healy (Healy's son), the crewmen of the afore-mentioned revenue cutters; Alaskan natives and their homes; and various views of the Alaskan wilderness and towns. The collection provides insight into the people and events the "Bear" and "Corwin" encountered on their voyages while under the command of Healy. The collection also depicts Alaskan native graves; missionaries; whaling ships; ice fields in the Arctic Ocean; J.B. Vincent, a survivor of the shipwrecked "Napoleon"; Francis "Frank" Fuller, murderer of Archbishop Charles John Seghers; Alaskan native umiaks and various artifacts; and reindeer stations. Photographers who contributed to this collection include H.W. Bradley, Edward DeGroff, Lt. C.D. Kennedy of the USRC Maine, Geoff Knight, William H. Rulofson, and I.W. Taber. See also photCL 97 for related photographs concerning the "Corwin". The photographs were originally part of the Huntington's Manuscripts collection for Papers of Michael A. Healy, 1881-1900, call number mssHM 47577-47618.

A man and woman in period costume. The chair that the woman is sitting on, Poetry or History personified as a cupid, belongs to the set of two settees and ten chairs whose upholstery covers were woven at Gobelins Manufactory, Paris, probably under the supervision of Jacques Neilson (1714-1788), after design by François Boucher (1703-1770) and Jean-Baptiste Oudry (1733-1755). The covers were woven circa 1779, and the frames are nineteenth century. She is writing at a writing desk and filing cabinet (bureau plat et cartonnier), attributed to Etienne Doirat, made between 1720 to 1732. The man stands behind her, in front of a Beauvais tapestry, "La Pipée aux Oiseaux (The Bird Catchers)." Label accompanying photograph in album reads "HEH 34 Library room of Huntington Art Gallery, with figures. Writing table, with Cartonnier; of tulipwood and ormolu, Louis XV period." Another copy of a wider image has MS notes identifying the people as Don Vest (?) and Nell Webb.
