The Taber photographic album of principal business houses, residences & persons

Taber photographs mounted on pages of advertisements for San Francisco businesses. Most of the photographs depict the outside of the business building (including a view of Taber's studio). There are also four portraits: Taber, John P. Jackson (President of the Post Publishing Company), A. Andrews (jeweller), and Emelie Melville. Three proprietors pose with their products or coworkers: Robert Samisch with his porcelain decorations, Mrs. W. P. Rutherford with her custom made corsets, and Robert F. Bunker with his butchers; in addition, there are two interior views: Bunker's pork packing counter, and Louis Dampf & Co.'s frame shop. There are also photographs of several illustrated lithographs for a winery and two breweries, a view of the bridge over Russian River at Healdsburg constructed by the San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad, and part of an exhibit of Pacific Saw Manufacturing Co. at the Fourteenth Industrial Exhibition
