Other Archival Materials

Another copy (original negative?) is in the Keystone-Mast Collection, California Museum of Photography, University of Calif., Riverside. A reproduction on a poster from that organization did not use a true stereo pair, however (two identical images instead of images showing a parallax difference), indicating that one image may be damaged or missing. The Keystone-Mastversion uses same catalog number with variant caption: "Looking N. Up Fifth Ave. past Flatiron Building and Madison Square, New York."
