Original 19th-century stereoview photograph of historic Mount Hope Cemetery in Rochester, New York, captioned:
“653. Grounds East of Tower, Mt. Hope, Rochester.”
The image provides an early view across the landscaped cemetery grounds, showing numerous monuments and gravestones among mature trees, with a residence or cemetery building visible beyond.
Mount Hope Cemetery was dedicated in 1838 and became the burial place of many notable Rochester residents. This is an attractive early photographic record of the cemetery and should appeal to collectors of Rochester history, New York stereoviews, cemetery photography and Victorian-era ephemera.
Condition: Good original antique condition with age toning, scattered spotting/soiling, edge and corner wear and general surface wear. There is some wear along the mount edges and old pencil writing on the otherwise blank reverse. Images retain good detail. Please review photographs for exact condition.
