[Photo Album]: Early Kodak Album of California

Verlag: California, 1900

Beschreibung

Quarto. Measuring 9" x 9". String-tied black cloth covered boards with "Kodak" stamped in gilt on the front board. A collection of 65 sepia-toned Kodak photographs with some captions. All photos are 3½" x 3½". Lacking some of the ribbon that binds the boards to the pages, slight bowing and edgewear, else very good with some photographs a bit faded from age. The album begins in Parkfield, Monterey County, California at an oil well with images of workers posing for a group photo and with others in a horse-drawn wagon. Other subjects include the San Miguel Mission, women posing on the grounds in what appears to be late Victorian dress, and an unnamed parade which includes a contingent of the Chinese Order of Masons. Pictured throughout the album are various California institutions such as the campuses of The University of California, California State University, and the Deaf, Dumb, and Blind Institute at Berkeley (now the California School for the Blind). There are various images around Golden Gate Park including the conservatory, museum building, and the lake on Strawberry Hill. A nice collection of turn-of-the-century California images.
