No Binding. Condizione: Near Fine. Two original black & white photographs of Carlsbad Caverns, printed on lightly textured photo paper, measuring 14 by 10 inches, taken in the 1930s by Robert Nymeyer. Both identified on their versos in pencil. The first is of 'The base of the Giant / New Cave'. Two figures stand at the base of the stalagmite, one is suggested to be Jim White; the other looks very like Elizabeth Lee in 30s attire. She was an early and important female caver. White was the discoverer and later promoter of the cave. The second photo is also identified in pencil as The Giant. 'World's tallest free standing stalagmite. 90 feet tall. New or Guadalupe Cavern, Slaughter Canyon, Guadalupe Mts. Carlsbad N.M.' This one is signed on the verso in pencil by Robert Nymeyer. The two were given in 1971 to Chuck Pease by James and Inez Wright. Magnificent images.…
