The Hawkesbury Bridge, Harvard's courtyard, Denver and Mexico City share the pages of Portfolio Colonial, an 1895 collection of photographs assembled by John L. Stoddard. Its fuller French title promises landscapes, cities and industries, and the range reaches far beyond a single colony. Multnomah Falls supplies an Oregon landscape, and the Australian subjects include Indigenous inhabitants as well as the bridge in New South Wales. Urban prospects, engineering works, natural landmarks and portraits show how late nineteenth-century travel publishing presented distant places.
