I have one and it is truly beautiful. My notes indicate the negative number is: 1-YW-065 in the 8x10 format on film type Agfa Nitrate 4 and the date assigned is circa 1938.

Last week would have had fresh snow like that. The Park was recently reopened after cleaning up a lot of tree downfall from a high wind event, and then plowing the road open. But it's day use only - no place to camp or stay inside the Park itself.

Just received some web pics of Yosemite Valley today from my nephew and his wife, who leave near there. Deep 3 ft of fresh snow on the Valley floor.
