Description: Isaiah Taber stereoview depicting the Palace Hotel in San Francisco. The original Palace Hotel was opened in 1875. It was demolished after being gutted by the fire caused by the 1906 earthquake. *Isaiah West Taber (1830 – 1912) was an American daguerreotypist, ambrotypist, and photographer. He first moved to California in 1850. He returned East in 1854 and opened his first photography studio in Syracuse, New York. In 1864, he returned to California, where he worked in the studio of Bradley & Rulofson until 1873. In 1871, Taber opened his own studio, where he gained fame for reproducing the photos of Carleton Watkins after Watkins went bankrupt, although the reproductions were published without credit to Watkins. In 1880, Taber made a six-week photographic trip to the Hawaiian Islands. However, the 1906 San Francisco earthquake destroyed his San Francisco studio, gallery, and negative collection, ending his photographic career. The right image is blurry on the far right. Mount edge wear. See scans.
