1920. Near fine. An octavo-sized photograph album, containing 55 images, each about 2.5" x 4.5", depicting a vacation to Yellowstone and some similar locales. Ladies fashions, while mostly covered by coats, seem to indicate a mid-1920s date, possibly as late as 1932 or 1933. All images are in excellent condition, fresh and bright, while mounted into corners, attached with a sparing amount of glue. Some handwritten labels in the thin borders indicate several attrations, including Old Faithful, the Canyon Hotel, Peigan Pass in Glacier Park, St. Mary's Lake (with one shot taken on a steamboat), and several others, including two close-ups of a bear. There is a delightful mix of candid portraits and sweeping views, and the photographer (in this cataloguer's opinion) had some real acuity with the camera.
