Fishing on the Columbia River
Description
A black-and-white stereoscopic view of a man fishing. The man appears to be either Asian or black. He wears a light shirt and dark jacket, both with wide sleeves, medium-light pants, and dark shoes. Half his head is either shaved or balding; the dark straight hair on the back half may be held back by some sort of headband. The man squats on a driftwood log at the edge of the placid river water. He holds a wood or bamboo pole out at a 90-degree angle to his body. On the log in front of him are twigs strung with small fish and weighed down with another piece of driftwood. At the very left edge of the left-side photograph can be seen part of a wooden bucket. Along the upper bank of the river to his left runs a line of telephone or telegraph poles. Beyond him stretches the river and forested hills.

Fisherman and Sturgeon Columbia River
Description
A black-and-white stereographic photograph. A white man sits at the prow of a wooden rowboat which is pulled partway onto a bank of the Columbia River. He wears a hat with a rounded crown and wide brim, a light shirt and jacket, sturdy pants and shoes. A painter on his right leads from the bow to the left edge of the photo. He holds a slim pole longer than he is tall. At the right of the rowboat in the water is a dark rock, and the oars are laid so the handles are in the boat and the flat ends rest on top of the rock. Lying in the water at the man's feet is a sturgeon. The fish is almost half as long as the boat. In the background stretches the river, with forested hills above the banks.
