Those present were; Frank Laura and Bernice Lant Paul Alice and Laura Mayor and father Mother and Sister Lewis. We enjoyed a fine dinner and nicely remembered with gifts." Certainly this appears to be a daughter or sister 'in-law' to the Lewis family. Local collectors and historians will have many clues as she also states that on January 21st 1918 her mother turns 64 and on January 22nd same year her father turns 69. She also maintains a super genealogical section with many generations of specific details. Here are some snippets of this 96 page diary: 1917 "December 25th Christmas day once again.

19300010290Yellowstone National Park United States Niagara Falls. Good with no dust jacket. 1930. Hardcover. On offer is a beautiful richly-decorated Yellowstone Park leather photo album portraying the Spear familys 1930 family trip intertwined with photographs of scenes for a long-past American west. The unknown author/photographer of this album accompanied her parents on a road trip from their home across the United States to the Rocky Mountains and back. They also took a side-trip to Niagara Falls in Canada. From context we can determine that it is a young woman who is traveling with her parents. The family surname is Spear and context suggests that they likely lived in Rhode Island. The album opens with two pages from a tourist publication broadsheet. These two pages carry a full map of the continental United States and illustrate the main highways crisscrossing the country. On one page she lists in order the states that they passed through. The pages are full of black and white photographs many showing a warm sepia tone. They depict individual family members they visited on their journey and scenes from places visited. Some photographs capture landscapes others interesting historical sites and still others some of the fascinating characters they encountered on their travels. For example there are two pictures of a stage coach accompanied with a full description: This coach was one of the first to carry the mail in Montana. Service then from Helena to Bozeman being over a week while now over the railroad it is four times a day. This coach was captured by the Indians in 1877 and recaptured after a hot pursuit by General Howard. P. S. Grandma Spear and dad then 9 years old took a trip in a similar coach from Helena to Great Falls a day trip 1885. Two pictures depict the Gordon Stockade. The Gordon Stockade now a National Historic Site was a temporary fort for 28 illegal gold miners in 1874. With a colourful history the fort which took 6 weeks to build was demolished in 2004 to make way for a reconstruction which took 6 years to complete. Her photographs show the aspects of the original fort along with a written explanation of its history. Another picture is of Dunraven Pass in Yellowstone National Park. Todays modern highway is shown as it was in 1930 a rutted dirt road. For a historian this is a superb pictorial record of life across America before WWII. It offers a wonderful look at a world now long gone. Of particular interest is the cover. This photo album was produced for the Yellowstone Park area and is imprinted with a colourful wildlife scene accompanied by a poem entitled Where The West Begins. This album measures 7 inches by 10.75 inches. It contains 50 pages and is 100% complete. The cover is a soft leather in 2 shades. The main part is a medium brown with a rich dark leather accent on the spine. The binding consists of 2 leather laces. The pages are black with extensive notations in white ink. The pages show some wear along the edges and the leather has a soft texture. The handwriting is legible. ; Photograph; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 50 pages . hardcover
1940203101940. African American Photography 22 large scale black and white silver gelatin photographs of an African American family in the 1940s. Bright green patterned cloth album covers 11.5" x 12.5". Photographs belong to the Curl family and opens with a large portrait of Mrs. Christina Curl "My beloved mother". It is unidentified which family member this album belonged to but a few different persons are captioned as "me" which indicates that the family sent various photographs to the original owner from various parts of the United States such as Chicago and Los Angeles. Several photographs show groups of Black Americans in formal wear attending clubs dinners and dances. A man identified as the senders brother is shown in two formal group photos one with his sister Gladys and her friends and another at "The Prairie View Dec. 23 1954 Dance." A large professional portrait shows a stylish African American woman with the inscription "With All My Love to a Sweet Sister-in-Law 1970." Two images show two different men in brand new cars one with a caption en verso "Hound-Day getting ready to cruise!" Three photographs show to be in Los Angeles from a newly wed couple with images of the wife smiling and leaning on a palm tree and in front of two California homes one dated 1948. Another two photographs of a different woman are shown one in front of the same house with caption en verso "Miss Los Angeles 1954. A photograph of the first woman named Gale is shown with her husband Earl at "New Club DeLisa -- Chicago" 1946. Opened in 1933 the club was the most prominent African American venue of the day until 1958. Happy wedding photos of a woman named Carrie and her husband are shown with a Caucasian priest. A photo of two Black men in suits are shown pushing a child in a stroller and some other children play near by in a suburban neighborhood. The woman Gale is shown in multiple photographs over the span of a few decades with different men indicating that this album may have belonged to her. The last photograph is of Gale and a young Black man dressed in 1950s formal wear in a well decorated mid-century home two later professional portraits show the couple together having aged indicating that this was the man she ended up marrying. This album is a shining example of a family that was able to herald their accomplishments and experiences during a harrowing yet radically progressive time for Black Americans. Photos are loosely placed under plastic sheets and are clean and crisp. Overall very good condition. unknown
