Summary expansion
The postcards date from the 1920s to the 1990s. Many were published by Frashers Foto of Pomona, but others are credited to various California photographers who worked in the Eastern Sierras and Mt Whitney area, including Stephen H. Willard (1894-1966) of Palm Springs, Mammoth Lakes, and Lone Pine; Andrew A. Forbes of Bishop; F.G. Harvey; Harry W. Mendenhall of Big Pine (whose work is signed "H.W.M."); Hodgkin of Selma, and Hammond's Studio of Porterville, California
