Description: Photograph album containing 36 prints that depict Alaskan nature scenes, various Native American life scenes, and the fur trade in the nineteenth century. The photographs were taken in 1881 and 1883. It is unclear if the photographs taken in 1883 are from one of the "Corwin's" voyages. The collection is particularly strong in images of fur trade expeditions and merchants; Native American villages and people; and views of the Arctic Ocean.
