Description: 21 Full color 1980s photos from color negative slides of Celilo Falls Columbia River with train, railroad highway and bridge in background on some. Wishram shows well on the other side in some. These are rare even as printed out in color in the early 80s. They are perfect color and not a bad one in the batch. The smaller ones are 5 1/2x 3/12 inches. The car racing the train is 7 X 5 inches. I no longer remember the year the orginals were taken. I think very late 40s or early 50s. I bet Tom will see this and advise LOL They were originally a professional photographers photos from The Dalles (but not positive) At celilo in the car vs steam locomotive the celilo town sign is present and there are some type of piles of triangular sand, not sure what that is for. So many fine details when zoomed in on. All their equipment like harpoons, spears, nets, the bucket and platforms. Everyone is involved from kids to older men. The backgrounds are quite clear as well. One photo is almost an identical aerial view of B.C. Markhams from the 20s. A couple shots areshowing salmon in sacks. Some shots might have a tourist or two but the focus was clearly on the Native Americans. There is a shot or two of crates. One is C.R.P.A. which is Columbia River Packers Association. Another is stamped Portland Fish Co. I even see a folgers coffee can being put to use. When is the last time you saw a good nighttime photo of the falls with Wishram in the background? You don't LOL So that is quite rare and it is winter. Then there is the winter shot in the daytime. This is a rare batch and pretty positive rarely if ever seen before. This is why the higher price. I am trying to keep a roof over my head and do medical stuff, so I have to try for top retail. If it does not, well then at least I tried. Ask any questions in advance. I am going to send via padded priority flat with good materials surrounding it. Good luck No X's on originals of course, just want to try to deter electronic image theft.
