Source Caption: Resharing from a 2024 post I did showing a historic photograph of the Consolidated California and Virginia Mine in Virginia City. This image was shared with us by page supporter Jeff Stein, who acquired a group of original prints more than a decade ago. Each photograph was mounted on cloth backing, a common practice in the late nineteenth century.

There is no photographer credit or exact date noted, but a handwritten caption on the original mount points to the late 1800s. I made minor adjustments to reduce age related yellowing while keeping the original details intact
