Columbia River Gorge and Cannon Beach, Oregon photograph album
Scope and Contents
Album containing 104 black and white photographs by an unidentified photographer or photographers, dating to approximately 1930-1935. The images primarily depict landscape scenes in Oregon, particularly the Columbia River Gorge and Mount Hood, as well as the Cannon Beach area on the Oregon coast.
