Mattie Gunterman photo of road leading to Camborne, 1901. Caption from Flapjacks and Photographs by Henri Robideau, p. 66 (Polestar, 1995): 'In the late summer or early autumn of 1901, Mattie took her camera up the newly completed Thomson's Landing-to-Camborne wagon road. This picture was taken at the Big Bluff, the same spot she photographed in 1900, but a year later the cliffs have been blasted out and a corduroy-decked bridgework installed.
