This remarkable collection of 165 black and white photographs is housed in a handsome, compact (10 1/4" x 7 1/8", landscape orientation) black album. 23 leaves/46 pages, dark gray paper, every page utilized and artfully laid out. The album opens at the entrance to Yellowstone Park, with a picture of the finely-dressed traveling party. Plenty of geysers are depicted, along with rivers, cascades, falls and basins. Old Faithful Inn is beautifully pictured, just a few years after its construction. Our travelers make their way to Tacoma and environs - the Tatoosh Range, Alta Vista; and through the Columbia River Lock to Victoria, where Parliament is admired. There, they caught the S.S. Spokane; disembarking in Juneau, they spent several weeks in the panhandle: Wrangell, Sitka, Ketchikan, Muir Glacier, Skagway, and Davidson Glacier, among other impressive sites. The photographs, while not professional, are still evocative and attractive. Continuing to southeast British Columbia and Alberta, we reach Yoho Valley, Takkakaw Falls, Soho Glacier, Wapta Mountain, Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, Banff and Lake Minnewauka. We are briefly in Detroit on our way to both sides of Niagara Falls, with some exquisite images of the rapids. An additional 13 photographs, likely from other cameras, are tucked in at the end, with other ephemera: a torn envelope, addressed to Buck Hill Falls, Pennsylvania; a postcard from 1909 reminiscing about the trip, addressed to Riverton, New Jersey; and a foldout portfolio of landscapes from the Canadian Rockies, by Notman s for the Canadian Pacific Railway. Photographs are attractively arranged three or four to a page, each carefully annotated in white ink. A few photos are slightly dark The travelers chose a quality album and the choice is reflected in the quality of the pages - no chips or tears - and the binding (minor tearing to the upper and lower edges of the cover s spine). Very minor bumping and wear to the corners of the cover round out the assessment of the flaws. The album is complete and in good condition.
