Stone, and two portraits of him. The remaining images are from the river trip, with many of Dubendorff. An undated clipping at the back of the album says that Stone presented the album to Mrs. C. W. Dubendorff sometime after Seymour S. Dubendorff died from illness in 1912. The additional loose prints and film negatives are copies of a larger album of 555 images of the Galloway-Stone expedition that is in the collection of Grand Canyon National Park. The Huntington Library borrowed the album and made the copies in 1963. Correspondence from the 1960s between the Huntington Library, Otis Marston and officials of Grand Canyon National Park is also part of this collection.
