1921List3510California 1921. Photo album measuring 10 x 12 inches containing approximately 360 photographs. Photos are approximately 3 ½ x 4 ½ and smaller with very good to excellent contrast. Album with wear to covers and edges of pages; photos generally excellent to Near Fine. A photo album belonging to an unknown Southern California family; license plates date the album to about 1914 to 1921. Most of the photographs are of family life including farm work: piles of hay; cows pigs chickens turkeys and horse-drawn plows; gigantic watermelons; and family members posing outside vineyards and in cornfields. The family also documented their car and their recreational activities including swimming hiking and fishing picnics and carriage rides. It appears that they were quite proud of their car and were frequent “auto-campers.†They seem to have taken a trip to Mexico or the Southwest as some shots show wide desert landscapes Joshua trees and low Spanish colonial-era buildings.<br /> <br /> Identifiable subjects include the ferry boat Ramona; the Rose Parade in Pasadena showing Culver City Pasadena and Glendale floats; San Gorgonio Mountain Half Dome and the Wawona Tree a giant sequoia in Yosemite; and the Fairview Farm Club parade—a line of cars driving down a dirt road the first decorated with cornstalks—which is probably related to the ranching development located between Huntington Beach and Newport Beach.<br /> <br /> Someone in the family had an interest in hydroelectric power as many shots show ongoing or completed hydroelectric works projects in Southern California. Several show the Southern California Edison Big Creek plant. Located in the Sierra Nevada the Pacific Light & Power Corporation began the Big Creek project in 1910 to provide power to the growing metropolis of Los Angeles. The photographs in this album appear to include both exterior and interior shots. Another set of shots show a dam under construction; this may be Devil’s Gate Dam on the Arroyo Seco which was constructed in 1920.<br /> <br /> Of interest to historians of Southern California in the early twentieth century and some of its public works projects. unknown
1940Cat332United States 1940. Photo album measuring 7 x 10 inches containing fifty-three photographs: two tintypes c. 1890s and 1920s six RPPCs and forty-five modern photographs. Photographs mainly measure 4 x 6 inches and smaller. Conditions vary; some with wrinkling and damage especially to corners and edges; others Fine. Overall excellent. A photo album of an unknown couple. Early shots include two tintypes which appear to be turn of the century to 1920s and six real photo postcards dating to the 1920s at the latest based on stampboxes. The RPPCs include portraits shots from a farm and a souvenir photo from Brooklyn. Later shots are likely WWII-era showing several men posing in military uniforms.<br /> <br /> The album is highlighted by its photographs of Californian auto tourism and a Soap Box Derby event likely also in California. Identifiable tourist locations include Bear Canyon Campground in Altadena and Cedarpines Park in the San Bernardino mountains; people pose with the car in deep snow and at the campside and shots show the car with luggage strapped to the outside and filling up at a Shell. One Cedarpines photo is dated captioned “Winter ‘28â€. Later auto tourism shots—with what appears to be a 1940s model car—show the car at a Los Angeles mechanic with a teardrop camper and a boat on top and later parked at a beach with the camper set up with manuscript verso indicating that the location is Mexico. Alongside these photographs is a shot of a Depression-era billboard reading “NO JOBS in California / KEEP OUT / 6 MEN FOR EVERY JOB / NO STATE RELIEF AVAILABLE FOR NON-RESIDENTSâ€; on the verso it is captioned “1929 / This sign was posted in Tennesseeâ€.<br /> <br /> Soap Box Derby is a Depression-era invention beginning in 1934 in Dayton Ohio and quickly becoming a national phenomenon. Derby shots in this album appear to be Californian or at least to highlight Californian entrants: the cars pictured are sponsored by Siminow Bros. a Los Angeles gas station and mechanic. These include the cars being towed in the line for the inspection station the starting line and action shots.<br /> <br /> Highlighting two very different forms of car-based recreation the album is of interest to historians of the car in American leisure in the period surrounding the Great Depression. unknown
