  • Notes 
    • STATUS: Amateur (visit).
    • BIOGRAPHICAL SUMMARY: Beginning in mid-July 1887 with a brief stop at the just-opened Glacier Hotel, this talented family of scholars and photographers returned for more studies of the mountains in 1894, 1897, 1898, 1899, 1900 and on into the twentieth century. An excellent overview of the family's history and outstanding examples of their photographs can be found in Cavell's tribute.
