The Wikimedia Commons website offers a multitude of historical images with no restrictions on use. This James Zellner image from the 19th century shows a group overlooking the narrows, likely from summit hill. The NYPL indicates a nebulous date of 1859-1885 for this image, indicating dating is difficult. Bill Auld's survey of photographers of old Mauch Chunk reports Zellner was active from circa 1870 to the 1890s, limiting the earliest date significantly.
