Item #561

13 x 10.25” brown string-bound album with “Photographs” on the detached front cover in gold. Contains around 265 black and white photos that seem to mostly be of the Brower family and friends from 1909 to 1915. Photographs measure between 2.25 x 2.25” and 5.75 x 3.5” and are glued to the pages and accompanied by handwritten annotations identifying people, places, pets, and dates. The main locations of the album are Connecticut, where the family may have made their home, New York, New Jersey, and Maine. Some of the more exciting photos include a celebration of the opening of the Connecticut River Bridge in Hartford, a derailed train, President Taft visiting Hartford, and the Smith College class of 1909. There are also many photos of family and friends, such as Jane Marsh Brower, Rock Carlton, Ernest Frater, Clarkson N. Fowler, Edwin S. Brower, and a young boy identified as Eddie. Accompanying these individuals are some darling photos of dogs and cats. The album is entirely filled with some loose pages and about 3 loose photos.
