Cameras were large and trails down to the water at Crater Lake were scarce when Ashland photographer Charles Logan created this view in about 1884. As best we can determine, this is the first known photograph of Crater Lake from lake level. Wizard Island and Llao Rock appear prominently.
We are dating this image, recreated from an original boudoir card, to 1884 - early in Logan's time in Ashland - as his boudoir card is identified only with a simple rubber stamp of "Logan". His cards later in the 1880s had professionally printed identification.
