Content Description
The primary item in this collection is an album of vernacular photographs recording the outdoor leisure activities of an unidentified American family possibly from the Northeastern United States. None of the prints carry any identifying information, but the pictures are organized into discrete series. The most notable of these series with 143 photographs may depict a canoeing, hiking, and fishing expedition to the Canadian North. This series includes numerous images of Native American or First Nations guides and their settlements. Other series document trips to the beach, car trips, train trips, and other excursions. The collection also includes 8 folders with approximately 50 loose photographs.
