This splendid Edwardian photo album documents the salmon fishing adventures and scenic excursions by the photographer through the pastoral Wye Valley just a few years before the outbreak of World War I. At the beginning of the 20th century the Wye River was considered to be one of the best rivers for salmon fishing in the United Kingdom outside of Scotland and this fishermen definitely enjoyed the beauty and catch to be found. These images capture a largely undeveloped and pastoral Symonds Yat and Wye Valley as it winds along the borders of Herfordshire Gloucestershire and Monmouthshire. Bowman has included images of side-trips along the River Monnow views of mills Llandogo the Hutsham Bridge Grosmont Castle Tintern Abbey the Devil’s Chimney at the Yat Wye Valley ruin of the Llancault Church the oldest house in Monmouth winter floods at the junction of the Monnow and the Wye Rivers winter rapids and more. Also included are scenes of salmon from the Wye the rod and reels used photos of fisherman casting into the Monnow River landing a salmon and even image of fisherman holding two large salmon while braced against a roadside hedge. The salmon fishery on the Wye held up through much of the 20th century before a precipitous decline in the 1980s and 1990s however due to extensive habitat improvement work carried out by the Wye & Usk Foundation to restore spring salmon runs the run has once again climbed but not to the levels of the early 20th century.

This exceptional photo album documents the camping boating fishing & hunting activities of visitors to Henry Hanson’s Squirrel Lake Resort in the early 1900’s after the opening of the Wisconsin Northwoods to tourists. The “Good Roads†movement and encouragement of improved highways and railroad expansion opened the area featuring fabulous fishing beautiful forests mild summer weather and stunning fall colours drawing in Presidents movie stars gangsters and families to Squirrel Lake resorts with resorts such as Hanson’s offering cabins for rent by the week hot meal dining boat rentals dock usage and hunting & fishing guides. This album opens with images of the resort including one handcoloured featuring waving stars & stripes flag boat sheds and canoes pulled up on the beach. Many of the images feature iconic Progressive Era views of families setting on the rustic cabin porches standing beside camp tents and rowing on the lake. Also featured are views of rowers seated in boats proud women & men holding their large Pike Bass & Muscallonge fish caught women & men hunters with shotguns picnic scenes and the bucolic backdrop of the resort. A series of photos reveal the transport of the Squirrel Lake Resort visitors from train station in horse-drawn covered wagon and automobile with one image showing three generations seated on their luggage at the depot. The names of the rustic cottages included “Skin Walk Cottage†and “Ma-Ow-Is†while the erected tents provided extra space. Hanson 1858-1951 moved to Minocqua WI in 1893 where he drove a livery team and by 1912 had established his resort on 37 acres on the shores of Squirrel Lake featuring a main lodge and adding cabins and other buildings from time to time set amidst a rustic setting of Pine Hemlock and Birch Trees on the East Shore of the Lake able to house up to 35 guests. His cabins were lighted by electricity supplied with running water shower baths and the excellent cuisine was furnished by the onsite orchards gardens and Jersey dairy cattle with large poultry supply as well. Initially named “Forest Home†by 1912 it had become Squirrel Lake Resort and he would continue operating it until 1936 when he sold the resort to Ed Perreault. Although we were unable to find a reference to the photographer D.E. Kennedy in local Minocqua WI directories or Wisconsin & Illinois photography references a few of the photos in this album are similar to a couple of the contemporary unsigned real photo postcard images in institutional and private holdings.
