Photographic yearbook for the Yale class of 1869, with many fine images of the New Haven campus, and several interior shots. The photographs were taken by Napoleon Sarony of New York, his first such yearbook work (the field being dominated by George Kendall Warren of Boston). Sarony parlayed his work for Yale into contracts for a half dozen more schools in 1870.
