This is a work in progress
to compile as comprehensive as possible a listing numbers and titles of
individual
stereographs of Arizona by George H. Rothrock made ca 18759-1890. If you
have examples that are not on this list, or valiant titles for any of the
numbers
or captions I would appreciate hearing from you. Ideally I would like to
obtain
either a xerox copy or scan for my files as well. Thanks in advance for your
time and assistance.
Please feel free to use this information but please credit this source and
reproduce only with full credit information.
Thank you.
