By
Salt Lake City and other locations, 1910. Softcover. Good. Oblong octavo. String-tied flexible leather. Lacking front board, thus good, some fading on some of the images internally very good. Contains 170 gelatin silver sepia-toned images. Various sizes, a few have been trimmed to make "vignettes" of individuals, most are some variation of 4.5" x 2.75". A small number have obvious fallen out or been removed. A few images have captions. An album kept by what appears to be a Western family, possibly from Salt Lake City, showing a mix of family images and images from both ranches and gold mining. Several mining dredges are shown, as well as scenes of miners and farmers. A few shots of the Alamo are shown as well as a few images, probably from California, where men with rifles are shown among the giant redwoods. A modest but pleasing group of images.
