Visitors at the Hotel Sierra in Loyalton, a small town on the Sierra Valley floor in northeastern California, gather on the porch while an automobile sits in the foreground, a sign that the newer machine was reaching rural towns by about 1906. The mountains rise behind the rooftops, giving the scene a wide, open setting. The record notes a U.S. Copyright Office deposit, a reminder that such views of everyday small-town life were once formally registered and preserved.
