Beschreibung
Quarto. Measuring 9.5" x 11". String-tied photo pages. Contains 167 sepia-toned or black and white gelatin silver photographs measuring between 2" x 3.5" and 4.5" x 6", some with captions on the verso. Very good pages lacking boards, with near fine photographs. A photo album kept by a Girl Guide detailing camping trips between 1928 and 1946. The album begins with a detached page from a diary kept by the Girl Guide who took the photographs. This page includes a clipping from a Girl Guide publication, *The Guide*, with a handwritten caption which reads, "those of us in this 'snap' felt very proud of ourselves as it was published in *The Guide*." The photos show uniformed girls and their instructors setting up tents, hiking, and boating. They are pictured working diligently at any given task. One photo shows a girl in mid-cartwheel, another shows two girls splashing near a beach. Numerous images show candids of "happy campers" enjoying the camaraderie of the Guides. The Guides camped at St. Andrews and Abbotsbury, among other sites, and with numerous landscapes ranging from Great Britain to the hills of Scotland to the seaside. The Girl Guides began around 1908 in a reaction to the Boy Scouts. By 1928, the earliest photos seen here, the organization had become international. A nice collection of photography documenting early Girl Guide outings in England over two decades. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 415755
