SPECIAL COLLECTION #194 - PAUL VERKIN'S 1900 STEREO VIEWS

The collection contains sixty images taken by professional photographer Paul Verkin; glass plate negatives. Fifty-five show the city probably shortly before or after the storm. Some of these images are duplicated in Special Collection 31 and 79, although Verkin is not credited. This is a very good collection, however, some of the images are obscured by the damage on the original negatives. See a complete inventory in the Galveston and Texas History Center.

Donated by Paul Verkin Jr., grandson of the photographer, 1999.
