Item description from seller

A leather photographer's box measuring 13.5" x 10.5" x 6". Gold-colored metal hasps and lock. Tooled leather with floral designs and with "Cameo Mines" on the front of the box and "Pictures of Oliver Lippincott Los Angeles, California" stamped in gilt on the leather inside the lid. Very good with broken hasps, chips, and rubbing. A box owned by California photographer Oliver Lippincott with his ownership information stamped on the inside of the lid. Lippincott's most famous photographs are from his journeys to Yosemite National Park. In 1900 he was the first person to drive a his steam powered Locomobile through the park, and take photos of the park including a famous photo of his vehicle on Overhanging Rock. Lippincott's images helped to draw national attention to the park. This box was presumably used for glass negatives, possibly of the Cameo Mines in Colorado, as is tooled on to the front of the box. A unique turn-of-the-century photography artifact.
