At the bottom of the card "Yours Truly, John L. Sullivan" is either handwritten or printed in imitation of handwriting. The photograph in the center is a bust-length portrait of a young woman. The photograph has been mounted at a 90 degrees angle to the other two images, and has printed photographer information reading "F. Medina, Merced, Cal." printed below the image. The photograph on the right is James J. Corbett, who is wearing a dark coat and high white collar, and is facing the camera, with his head turned slightly to the right. The printed photographer information at the bottom of the card reads "Fowzer ; Artist Photographer, 337 Hayes St., Branch, No. 7227 Market St., S.R."

  Two photograph albums of Pilliner family and other portraits, chiefly taken by William H. Pilliner, an early photographer in the American West. Subjects include Pilliner, his wife Eliza Jane (McGuire) Pilliner, members of the Pilliner and McGuire families, and associates. One album contains cartes-de-visite and tintypes, the other is larger, containing mostly cabinet card photographs. The images date from approximately 1870s to 1902, and some are inscribed. The collection also includes a typescript by Cornelia Elizabeth McGuire (Eliza Jane's sister) of the McGuire family genealogy from 1700 to the mid-1900s, and a typescript of W. H. Pilliner's biography. One photograph depicts G. W. Jenkins and I. N. McGuire, the proprietors of the Santa Maria Times, superimposed over a photograph of the newspaper. Some imprints on the images say "W. H. Pilliner, Pioneer Artist" and studio locations include Reno and Idaho Falls. There are also a few photographs by Piggott & Shaw of Santa Rosa, California.
