A rare collection of 116 albumen photographs taken between 1872-1875 opens on January 17, 2017 at the Maynard Dixon Home and Studio/Thunderbird Foundation in Mt. Carmel, Utah. This extraordinary collection of images by John “Jack” Hillers was donated to the Thunderbird Foundation in 1998. Hillers produced a number of sets to be used by John Wesley Powell to lobby Congress for more money for his expeditions. This is the only known collection that is intact with all 116 images.

Cool. If I lived closer.... amazing the photos from that time, and the gear they had to haul around.
