(WESTERN UNITED STATES--MINING) A handsome and immersive album with approximately 100 photographs showing numerous Western and Southwestern landscapes and cities.
Possibly related to a mining business, the album's stunning imagery includes visits to and imagery related to Native individuals; an image of an Asian man and small child; horseback trips through rugged terrain (featuring enormous cacti); visits to what may be mining towns (including Ray, Arizona, which was known for its copper mine); Salt Lake City; the Spokane train station; massive train bridges and feats of train track engineering; lush Western forests; and city street scenes, all rendered in crisp and compelling detail. The album also appears to show travels to Mexico. Silver prints, the images measuring 5x7 3/4 inches (12.7x19.7 cm.), and slightly smaller, and the reverse, mounted neatly recto only to black paper pages. Oblong folio, leather, front cover and backstrip perished/detached, but the binding intact. 1910-15
