yrone is a borough in Blair County, Pennsylvania, 15 miles northeast of Altoona, on the Little Juniata River. Tyrone was of considerable commercial importance in the twentieth century. It was an outlet for the Clearfield coal fields, and it was noted for the manufacture of paper products.
Standard size, curved, verso mark more important than the front image.

Pennsylvania photographer R. K. Bonine made scarce views of machine shops of the Pennsylvania Railroad at Altoona, PA and also a series of the 1889 Johnstown flood. In 1890 he joined with Carleton H. Graves, L. M. Melander and Brother, W. M. Chase, and the Gates Brothers of Chicago to form the Globe Photo Art Company in Bettsville, Ohio, which centralized printing and distribution. Their views sold for $2 a dozen, which was a competitive price at the time. Bonine issued views either copied or obtained from other photographers. Bonine was also the first person to successfully capture an actual earthquake on film (San Francisco, 1906).
