Between the Covers

Softcover. Large oblong quarto. String-tied flexible black buckram album. There are several blank pages in the second half of the album, occasional chipping and wear to the brittle pages, some leaves and photos detached, overall very good or better. Most of the photographs are pasted to the black paper leaves. Overall near fine. The album contains 175 black and white photographs (most 3” x 5”), circa 1929-32 (with a few earlier WWI images). Most are dated, and many are captioned. It contains images captured at Southern California beaches, Catalina, Santa Monica, Palm Springs, Griffith Park, and other locations, as well as some vacation photos from Washington State, Oregon, and Chicago. Perhaps most notably it includes 21 images from the the opening ceremony for the 1932 Olympic Games held at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
