Description :

A vintage photographic portfolio featuring iconic Yosemite National Park imagery by Ansel Adams. This collection includes the original printed envelope along with multiple loose photographic plates and accompanying title/description cards. Subjects represented include Yosemite Falls, Half Dome in winter, and additional classic Yosemite landscapes rendered in Adams’ signature style.

The portfolio materials show period production qualities consistent with mid‑century Sierra Club publications. Envelope and prints display age‑appropriate wear, handling marks, and toning. Interior cards retain clear text and imagery. A compelling lot for collectors of Ansel Adams, Sierra Club publications, Western landscape photography, and American conservation history.

Contents observed:

  • Original printed portfolio envelope

  • Multiple black‑and‑white photographic plates

  • Printed title and description cards for individual images

  • Sierra Club conservation message insert

Notes: Untested for completeness. All items photographed are included in the lot. Condition as shown. A strong display and reference grouping for photography and Yosemite enthusiasts.
