There are far too many to post on this web site but if you have a specific interest
E-mail or call us and we can post specific images for your view on this site.  If you
visit the gallery in person, you can browse through albums that have been organized according to subject matter and location.  The samples in the albums are contact print
 from mostly 5 x 7 inch negatives. A few are from a 8x10 inch negatives, and some are slightly smaller than 5x7 inches.  The results are highly detailed images that capture the
 spirit of yesterday.

We always have some preprinted images framed and on display in our Nostalgia Room.

About half of the images were generated by one professional photographer, F.A. Lentz. He was a year round resident in Tahoe from the late 1920’s to 1961, when he died.

We also have a selection of rare original antique book plate prints, antique maps, and other charming nostalgic images. The 1876 Lake Tahoe Lmited Map is a beautiful collectors im item.
