About this Item
Oblong quarto measuring 12" x 9". String-tied red paper boards with "photographs" stamped in gilt on the front board. Contains 213 sepia-toned, black and white, or color gelatin silver photographs measuring between 1" x 1" and 8" x 10" with some captions. Very good album with worn edges, rubbing, and tears with near fine photographs. A photo album kept by a Detroit woman in the late 1950s through the mid-1960s. The album isn't in chronological order but follows a Detroit woman and her family over a decade. It is full of snapshots, candids, and portraits of family and friends. The family was Catholic and are often captured at church events with robed priests, girls in communion dresses, and women in Sunday best. Many of the photos show a Latino family. A few pages have photo strip photos and school portraits affixed to the black pages. They are photographed in front of family homes and with new cars smiling and posed for the camera. Later in the album there are photos from a beach trip to Lake Michigan. Later in the album is a portrait of a uniformed soldier. The final page shows a large portrait of a woman showing off her leg through a slit in a skirt reveling a garter on her thigh. A nice collection of snapshots detailing the life of a 1950s Detroit family. Seller Inventory # 413352
