Caption: "Maricopa Point - Grand Canyon of Arizona," c. 1925. Erroneously labeled, this photograph shows Grace McCarthy standing at the Powell Memorial on Powell Point, rather than Maricopa Point. The granite Powell Memorial commemorates John Wesley Powell, who explored the Colorado River in 1869 and 1872. The 1869 expedition included the first known descent of a person of European ancestry into the Grand Canyon.

No Caption: View of the Government Building, neighboring buildings, and Geyser Basin at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition. Held in Seattle to celebrate the development of the Pacific Northwest, the fair attracted 3.7 million visitors over the course of its run from June to October 1909. Although most of the fair's buildings have since been destroyed, several of them now serve as part of the University of Washington campus. For instance, Geyser Basin became Drumheller Fountain, now at a slightly different location.
