Original pair of antique Alaska photographs, both identified on reverse as St Michael. Wonderful early 20th century documentary images from the Nome region / Norton Sound area.
Included:
Church / Mission Building Scene – striking image of an old wooden church or mission structure standing in tall grass, likely community religious building.
Village / Family Scene – women and children outside simple homes in a frontier settlement setting, excellent glimpse of everyday life in remote Alaska.
These appear to be authentic period photographs from the same source or travel group.
Approximate date: early 1900s to 1920s (estimate)
Size: approx. postcard/snapshot size (see photos)
Condition: vintage wear from age including edge wear, light bends, handling marks, surface wear, and age toning. Please view photos carefully.
