Description
Composite photograph of views of Mount Lowe, [s.d.]. From left to right, top to bottom, the first two images show some sort of car riding down a steep track on the mountain. The third shows a part of the railroad in the trees and the fourth shows the railroad curving around the mountain towards a large, lightly-colored house. The fifth shows a large, lightly-colored house at a peak with men using a device to travel down the mountain. The sixth shows a man operating a searchlight and the seventh shows a donkey. The last picture is an aerial view of the railroad climbing up the mountain.
