Grouping of three (3) California resort and landscape. Views include: 

1.) Oak Knoll Farm House outdoor albumen stereoview. Napa, California: Lawrence A. Houseworth, 1866. Publisher's copyright and series identification printed to mount recto. Publisher's imprint printed to mount verso. 

An idyllic garden view showing the expansive Gothic Revival manor house of Joseph Wellington Osborn’s famed model vineyard estate, with ladies in hoop skirts and children posed on the lawn and ivy-draped veranda.

2.) Geyser Hotel, Sonoma County, Cal. outdoor albumen stereoview. Napa, California: Thomas Houseworth & Co., n.d..Publisher's imprint and series identification printed to mount recto.

View of the sprawling, two-story frame resort hotel nestled beneath broad shade trees, with patrons gathered along the upper and lower railed galleries.

3.) "Nick of the Woods" outdoor albumen stereoview. Napa, California: Thomas Houseworth & Co., n.d..Publisher's imprint and series identification printed to mount recto.

A striking nature curiosity capturing an uncanny facial profile naturally formed by knots and bark whorls on the trunk of an ancient Sierra cedar. 

This lot offers three classic examples of how Gold Rush-era commercial photographers in California marketed the state's pastoral beauty to eastern audiences.

Very good condition overall. The albumen prints retain strong tonal range and definition, and excellent stereoscopic depth. Mounts remain crisp and structurally firm with minor corner rounding.
