Many do not have imprints but the manuscript on the back of one of the views that is listed in the Tennessee section (TN1) reads in part "Gallery in the distance, you can see sign on side of building." The sign is for Bingham & Hilliard. Other views from this series are listed under Tennessee (TN1-TN9), and 2 views are listed under Fairs & Expositions (Expo25 & 26). This is a rare group of views of Memphis by an uncommon maker.
