Description: A collection of photographs from the life of Lucius ("Lute") Pease, with views of the Canadian Yukon and Alaska; Pease as a child and in his later years; family members; friends and some sitters of his portrait work; and views of his paintings. The scenes in Yukon and Alaska date from approximately 1898-1901 and show Pease and others in heavy fur clothing, living in log cabins, travelling with dog sleds, prospecting, hunting, and posed outside the Del Norte Hotel in Nome. Native (or Inuit) men and women are seen in fishing boats, hunting sea lions and aboard the United States Revenue Cutter "Bear." The remainder of the collection focuses on Pease and family members, and Pease during his years painting and working as an editorial cartoonist, with a view of him at the drawing board. Other photographs of note: American political cartoonist Homer Davenport, ca. 1880s; Pease with Walt Disney, ca. 1940s; a copy photograph of Robert Todd Lincoln as a young man; and three snapshots from the South Seas, which may be Jack London photographs (London wrote for the Pacific Monthly).
