About This Item
California, 1914. Paperback. Very Good. More than 50 b/w or sepia silver prints, affixed to the recto and verso of disbound black leaves (175x134mm); photos range in size from about 10x15mm to 115x70mm, and some are captioned directly on the photo. Photographs are nicely composed, tho our amateur photographer makes occasional mistakes in focus or over/under-exposure. Occasional faint silvering, but prettily so. A fun collection of snapshots, offering a nice look at men and women's fashions of the period, as well as some pretty shots of date palms, and the south hills of Pamona. Primarily given over to portraits of friends and family, most labelled with the person's name (either in white ink below the image, or on the image itself), and all in the spirit of fun (a few shots include a burro names "Spuds"), if not the best taste (another image, showing a group of girls eating watermelon, is captioned "Pickaninnies"). A nice collage of little thumbnail portraits graces the final leaf.
