(SNAPSHOT ALBUM)
An album of approximately 175 diverse and compelling snapshots, including several remarkable early flight snapshots, and a series of surreal and beautiful images of a balloon and small sky diver heading towards a field. Also includes harbor scenes with boats and surf; artful studies of animals, including two oval prints of a small rabbit, ox-driven carts, and fowl paddling in bodies of water; small children; hunters, and their dogs with hunted fowl; river scenes; farms (and several pigs); and several of what appears to be a visit to a more southern locale with images of palm trees and a small bare foot boy, crumbling structures, and Spanish-language signage. Silver prints, most approximately 3x5 1/2 inches (7.6x14 cm.), and the reverse, some oval, mounted recto only, usually 3 or 4 to a page, only a couple detached. Oblong 4to, flexible leatherette and cloth covers with a tied binding, edges chipped and worn. 1910
