Keystone. Keystone sometimes used Underwood negs. after
they bought them out. At other times they sent out photographers to make
more up-to-date images.
'The neighbourhood of William
Tell - Lofty Mount Pilatus towering above Lucerne'.
'Grindelwald on market day'.
'Montreux'.
'Cable road to Murren from
Lauterbrunnen'.
'The ever-glorious Jungfrau'.
'In the heart of the Alpine
mountains - Zermatt from the Riffelap'.
'Murren, the loftiest hamlet
in Switzerland'.
'Glimpses of snowy peaks throught
the framework of a forest glade - above Wengen'.
'A frail parapet - Gorges du
Triant near Vernayaz'.
'Blowing the Alpine horn, Grindelwald'.
'In the Bernese Oberland -
Brienzer Rothhorn Railway'.
'Looking south over the Eggishorn
over Rhone Valley ot Monte Leone and Fletchhorn'.
The Fine Art Photographers' Publishing Company. This was
the UK imprint of B.L. Singley who founded Keystone
'Overlooking Lauterbrunnen
from Wengen'.
'The Kapellbrucke Crossing
the River Reuss, Lucerne'.
Excelsior. M.E. Wright of Burnley, England. A quirky publisher
who, nevertheless managed a wide circulation in the UK and the US. Purchased
many of his negs fom other publishers but also produced a lot of his own
views. Some of his Egypt and middle-eastern views are proved to have been
taken in the studio with his family dressed in sheets and striped towels!
As far as I know there are no cardboard mountains here. One other problem
with his views- he was pretty mean and didn't like throwing the fixer away
so much of his production is either light or faded. Well worth trying a
couple for a refreshingly different slant.
'The Mirror, Lake Zug'. This
is typical of Wright. Looks nothing but is a little gem. A delight to view.
'Finsteraar Schlucht Meyringen'.
'Jungfrau from Grindelwald'.
'The Axenstrasse, Lake Lucern'.
'The Black Forest, Switzerland'.
'The Shonegg Ice Cavern, Grindenwald'.
H. C. White. Generally reckoned to be the best publisher
of this period from a technical and processing point of view. Marketed
as the 'Perfec-Stereograph'. The high gloss makes them difficult to scan.
'A street in lovely Lauterbrunnen'.
'The Axenstrasse, 300 ft. above
Lake Lucerne'.
'The rocky summit of Mt Pilatus
from a tunnel in the path to the ????'. Very classy!
'The cloud-capped heights above
Lauterbrunnen'.
