AVIATION - HAND-MADE RADIOS - CHICAGO - ONE MAN'S LIFE 1915-1940 PHOTO ALBUM

Item #478

1915-190 photo album which looks back at one man’s life. The first page lists the contents, which says “Friends, relatives and sweethearts, radios I have built.” There is a photo of the owner’s high school diploma, which lists his name as Robert Barry Kennedy, Jr., and he was from Chicago. This 7.25” x 11.25” photo album has 280 snapshots, which feature photos of radios that he built by hand, various early airplanes and airshows (including “Katherine Stinson in her Wright Biplane, 1915.”), Ringling Bros. Circus, photos of him in his military garb after his recovery from the Pandemic flu of 1918, card games with friends, an eclipse photo, schools he attended, homes where he lived, beach scenes, women, etc. The photos are held to the page with corner tabs and it is complete. The pages are a bit brittle and the string binding is very loose. A truly remarkable album showing one person’s life.
