Softcover. Oblong octavo. Measuring 7" x 11". String-tied brown leather album with "Photographs" stamped on the front board. Contains 124 sepia toned photographs affixed to stiff black paper measuring between 2.5" x 1.5" and 3" x 5" with some captions. The album is very good or better with some tears and worn corners with near fine or better photographs. A photo album compiled by Russellville, Arkansas native Dorothy K. Tackett with a large majority of the images taken during what appears to be her senior year of high school with overall dates between 1933 and 1936. About 20 of the photographs depict her taking part in her school's basketball team with pictures of the coach, the team in tracksuits and their uniforms, as well as single shots of girls posing with basketballs. The album shows school activities, the music club, a blindfolded girl walking along a plank of wood, various headshots of classmates, and groups of children playing. There are also photos of people posing near their cars, girls on swimming and camping trips, a young child on a bicycle, and two girls posing with a Navy seaman in uniform. An interesting collection depicting active young women from the 1930s.
