| Studio Location | United States--Washington (State)--Seattle |

| Notes | Collecting Indian baskets was very popular at the turn of the 19th to 20th centuries, and collectors amassed vast numbers of beautiful artworks in their homes. In Nellie Stimson's Seattle home, baskets from the Pacific Northwest as well as from the Great Basin and Southwest are displayed in abundance.
Norwegian-born Anders Wilse moved to Seattle in 1890 to work as a surveyor and engineer. After photographing the building of the Great Northern Railway through the Cascades and working as a cartographer, Wilse turned to commercial photography in 1897. In 1900, Wilse left for a visit to Norway and never returned. (Carolyn J. Marr, "Anders Beer Wilse: Photographer of the Pacific Northwest and Norway." Columbia 8, no. 4 (Summer 1994): 24-29.) |
