Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Very Good. Quarto measuring 9" x 11.5". Blue cloth over stiff paper boards with gilt decorations. Contains 226 sepia-toned or black and white gelatin silver photographs measuring between 1" x 1" and 5" x 7" with captions. Very good album with worn edges and some rubbing with very good photographs with a few… tears and curling. A photo album kept by a New Jersey socialite, Doris Paterson Spence in the 1930s. Spence documents her family between 1933 through 1936. She fills her scrapbook with photographs from social gatherings, travels, and leisure time spent sunbathing, swimming, and fishing. The opening page begins with a newspaper clipping about Doris' schooling at Miss Beard's School where she was head of the class. Other images are portraits of friends and family members, some with captions mentioning the photo's use such as "Russian visa picture." They go to garden parties, play tennis, and visits to the beach. One section of photographs from a tennis match includes tongue-in-cheek captions such as "the tennis champion." Many of the photos are from the family's world travels with numerous photos taken on board ships to Europe. One section shows a 1935 trip that began in Iceland with images of the midnight sun and boating passed fjords. From there they sail to Norway, Jordan, Leningrad, Copenhagen, and Scotland. Another cruise that year shows the travelers on the S.S. Berengaria out of San Francisco. Here they are photographed posed with the life saver, playing tennis on board the ship, and smiling for the camera. Some of the family attended Princeton University and many of the newspaper clippings have to do with events at the college. Towards the end of the album the graduation ceremony for her brother Alexander P. Spence is photographed. Shortly after compiling this album, Doris married investment banker, Norman Kennedy, Princeton class of '34. They married in 1938 and Norman joined the Army during World War II. After the war they settled in Montclair and had two children. An interesting collection of images detailing a young woman's family in the years leading up to World War II.
