Part of the John S. Craig Collection.
NotesConstituent Note: Charles A. Burnham's establishment at 174 Main Street, Norwich, Connecticut is described as a stationery store in the Norwich city directories. It therefore appears likely that he sold--and perhaps published--stereo views, but he was probably not the person who took the photographs.Part of the John S. Craig Collection.
