This wonderful and I think very rare two part panorama sepia tone photograph by Darius Kinsey depicts one of the of Western Washington's mountain valleys. I am not sure whether it is the Snoqualmie, Stillaguamish, Skagit or perhaps the valley of the Little White Salmon leading up to the mining town of Monte Cristo. He must have used one of his largest cameras to get these pictures and it appears that they were attached to each other at one time to form a spectacular panorama. The panorama depicts the era of intense logging and beginnings of permanent settlements in the foothills of Western Washington. Small farms can be seen on the valley floor and what looks like a narrow gauge railroad can be seen snaking up the hillside in the lower right corner of the photo on the right side. This could either be a logging spur or the railroad to Monte Cristo. There is the looming bulk of larger mountains on the left side of the left photo that might be identifiable. I see one that could possibly be McClellan's Butte which would definitely identify this as the Snoqualmie Valley from somewhere near North Bend. The size of the combined photos is 25.5" x 10.25". The right photo is signed:Kinsey Photo.../ Seattle. It is numbered 8449. The photo on the left has and almost illegible number ...84 (probably 8448). The photos are in quite good condition with a few small corner folds and a small bump in the sky of the right photo.
