Full leather covers have a sepia toned photograph of a sailboat on the front. The album depicts a family in 1910s-20s Long Beach, the surrounding area, as well as some shots of the Desert Southwest. There are images of cargo ships being constructed in the Long Beach shipyards and sailing in a fleet up the harbor. 6 photos depict a 1919 parade with a grand float and a marching band, and a handful of photos depict the old Long Beach Pier and amusement rides. Many photographs concern the family and their travels, with many shots of 1910-1920 coastal California scenery, sunbathing on beaches, railroad depots, early 20th century street scenes, and parades. These images showcase early 1900s fashion, modes of transport, advertising signage, and nautical infrastructure. In very good condition.
