The collection in the possession of the District of Columbia Library consists largely of building and street views – churches, cemeteries, schools, businesses, and other public buildings are well represented – but also contains some images of Washingtonians, including many images of the adventures of the Wanderlusters, a co-ed hiking club. Ross assigned captions and non-unique numbers to most of his postcard images which are used as the item titles. Many of his images grace the pages of this work on Silver Spring, Maryland. More
