 | S.A. Spencer stereograph, 1875?-1882?. This stereograph of part of Skidegate, Haida Gwaii, is unusual in three respects: first, it is by Spencer; second, it shows a frontal view of the Skedans mortuary pole, and to its right and only visible in the righthand image, part of the pole fronting House Chief Peeps at from a Distance; and third, next door on the left to House Chief Peeps at from a Distance is Mountain House, which is in an 1878 G.M. Dawson photo, but not an 1881 Dossetter photo (American Museum of Natural History 42267). | 15 Apr 2025 |
