Reading Note
Reading J. J. Stoner through attribution
Leadville 1882 and Key West 1884 fix J. J. Stoner to specific cities and years instead of leaving the maker buried behind the subject. That matters because bird's-eye views often foreground the civic scene and leave the working hand in the margin.
Because these sheets span 2 states and 2 eras, the page makes it easier to separate the maker's habits from the city being drawn.
