[Photo Album]: Florida and Travel Scenes

Oblong quarto. Measuring 12½" x 9½". Tan stiff paper boards. Contains 45 sepia-toned albumen photographs measuring between 3" x 5" and 8" x 9½", with captions. Good only album lacking the boards with some chips on the edges with very good photographs. A photo album containing photographs mostly in Florida, circa 1880. The photographs are mostly large and well-composed landscapes of sites around Florida with some captions in the negative and additional handwritten captions. The images show families on their front porches and outdoors with names and occupations of their servants written below. The first family is the Brownrigg family pictured on the porch of their home dubbed "the fort." The photographs feature all sides of the home with captions setting the scene. Following this are images of the residence of "A. Norton Taylor, Esq. Orlando, Fla. 1880." The Florida images show landscape scenes, a local church in Orlando, and a moss-covered tree by Econlockhatchee Creek. Another photo shows a serene view of Lake Maggiore, Florida. Interspersed throughout these Florida images are roughly 10 photographs from other travels to British Columbia and England. An attractive collection of photography with an emphasis on the area around Orlando, Florida in the 1880s.…
