Author: Hull, Arundel C.
Title: Hot Springs, Dakota Territory and Environs - twenty four boudoir views
Place Published: Fremont, Nebraska
Publisher:
Date Published: 1880s
Description:
24 boudoir card views of Hot Springs, Dakota Territory. 7¾x4½" photos on mounts, 8½x5¼".
Hull was a prolific photographer of the west and was a primary camera operator for William Henry Jackson in 1870 after which he opened his studio in Fremont, Nebraska. Hull spent a family vacation in the Black Hills in 1889 and manuscript labels within the collection name the area "Hot Springs" which dates the photos to no earlier than 1882. Most of Hull's work is from Colorado, Utah, Wyoming and Nebraska. The images are very early views of the town, buildings and surrounding area. One view from Battle Mountain shows several dozen buildings of a very young community with a second view showing town at a more oblique angle. Another unique view shows Gravel Rock in the foreground with several residences in the background. An additional view shows the massive Minnekahta Hotel from afar; another shows a horse and buggy with rider surveying town.
