| Contextual Notes | In a career spanning more than 50 years, Lloyd V. Winter (1866-1945) and Edwin Percy Pond (1872-1943) compiled a vast catalog of photographs depicting the people and places of the North, particularly around Southeast Alaska and into the Klondike. In 1894, the Winter & Pond Studio was established, and their keen interest in photographing Alaska Natives before, during, and after the great Klondike Gold Rush, in both formal and informal settings, made a significant contribution to Alaska Native cultural studies. Between 1915 and 1925, the Winter & Pond Company also owned and operated mining claims near Juneau, and a collection of photographs of their mining activity is included in the Alaska State Library archives. The partnership of Winter & Pond ended with Pond's death at age 71 on June 1, 1943, and Winter died not long after in November 1945 at age 79. |
