12 x 7.25" heavy album with a worn leather cover. The pages of the album are white and rigid. The first page of the album contains a typed commentary on the contents of the album, which largely consists of photos of the White Mountains in New Hampshire taken during a trip in 1900. There are 44 photos measuring between 4.75 x 3.75" and 4 x 5" and are glued to the pages along with typed annotations describing the views. Areas pictured include Silver Cascade, Mount Willard, Beecher's Cascade, Elephant Head, Mount Webster, Flume Cascade, Mount Washington, and other mountains and falls. Near the end of the album, there are more photos, that appear to have been added later. These include a photo of a group on the beach and interiors. There is one photo that has been torn from the page, the photos are faded, there is some spotting to the pages and the front cover is detached. A section of the introduction to the album reads: .Greeting. The White Mountain views shown in this collection were secured during a short holiday in August, 1900. As an X-mas greeting they are presented to a few friends. If any chance examiner of this album is disposed to wonder why so many of the pictures show photographic faults, I can but offer in extenuation of the offense a reply similar to that once made by Dr. Johnson: "Doctor," inquired a lady, "how came you to make so serious a blunder as to misspell a word in your dictionary?" Dr. Johnson answered, "It was through pure ignorance I did it, madam." As to certain descriptions of places, need I say some were copies from White Mountain guide books.…
