A handsome album documenting the Okeelanta Stock Farms Packing & Canning Company in Florida's lush Everglades, with 50 photographs and 9 panoramas, artfully depicting the canals, buildings, stock, and agricultural products of the farm, also including spectacular images of the owners and managers posing in their fields and with their plants (as well as with their dogs), an incredible panorama of the farmers next to their docked boats in the canal with the farm as the backdrop, splendid panoramas of the fields, and a cute series of hogs and piglets (including a panorama of the pigs in the open fields). Silver prints, sizes ranging from 6 1/2x9 3/8 to 6 7/8x40 5/8 inches (16.5x23.8 to 17.5x103.2 cm.), the panoramas with 2-4 images each, some with a photographer's credit and most with the farm's name in the negative, a few with newspaper clippings or typed farm stats affixed to the linen-backed mount verso.
