Description:
A photographic slide in a small cardboard Kodachrome frame (off white with yellow and red corner trim). The frame is labeled "Skagway from Lookout — 7—26—63" in handwriting. The image shows a semi—aerial view of a settlement, presumably Skagway, situated on a narrow peninsula jutting into the Chilkoot Inlet from the bottom left of the image. The settlement is surrounded by a stretch of beach on each side, and is separated from the near shore of the foreground by naught more than a shallow creek. Beyond the settlement on a farther shore, a sloping mountain looms over a long cluster of buildings along the water's edge. Beyond the shore's end at right, more mountains can be seen further along the inlet. The number "19 AUG 63P" is printed in red ink on the frame at the upper edge.
