For your consideration is a great stereoview identified on the reverse as "Interior of the Observatory, Messrs. Clough, Smith and Nelson".  This is a great view of the three men tending to their duties inside the observatory.  Note the books on the shelves and the stove in the foreground.  This is part of the series "Views Taken on the Summit of Mount Washington During the winter of 1870 -1871 (No. 32)".    Please note there is edge wear and corner wear to the mount and overall soiling.   In the left image there is also a small mark on the face of the man sitting at the front desk (see scan).  It was photographed and published by Clough & Kimball, Concord, N.H.
Please view the enlargeable scans carefully and contact me with any questions
