Impressive collection of four circa 1890s photographs and a 1903 badge related to Deadwood, South Dakota: an outstanding 13.75 x 10.75 mounted albumen photo by John C. H. Grabill, entitled "No. 3583. 'Last Deadwood Coach.' The last trip of the famous Stage Dec. 28 '90"; an 8 x 10 mounted albumen photo by Locke & Peterson, entitled "No. 7. 'Scene from White Rocks.' Deadwood, S.C."; a 10 x 8 mounted albumen photo by Rounds, Locke & McBride, entitled "Deadwood, S.D., Looking Southeast"; an unlabeled 8 x 5 mounted albumen photo of a mining town; and an uncommon 1903 American Mining Congress badge by Whitehead & Hoag, measuring 1.75 x 3.25, listing "Deadwood and Lead, S.D." as the host towns for the meeting. In overall very good to fine condition, with significant chipping and wear to the mount of the Grabill photograph. Grabill took some of the most iconic photos of Deadwood and the Black Hills, capturing the miners, cowboys, Native Americans, and natural landmarks of the area. A similar example of the "Last Deadwood Coach" photograph is held in the Library of Congress.
