Between the Covers

Hardcover. Tall narrow quarto. Stiff cloth boards embossed "Fotofolio" on front board. Very near fine. 101 black and white photographs. Most are about 3.75" 4.75", a few are larger. Just about fine. Virtually all of the images are captioned and dated from 1937-1938 on the verso. A few of the images of a woman who appears frequently in the album are captioned as "Dorothy Case." The album begins with photographs, almost all of them very nicely composed, of country scenes from around the environs of the Housatonic River, and includes nice images of a sunrise over the river, and of the fireworks from July 4th at New Milford, Connecticut, followed by rustic scenes in and around a country home on the river, including canoeing, a woman with a scythe, several of the same woman typing on a table outside, a card game, reading, and also includes many charming scenes of winter: ice skating, skiing, and walking by Buck Hill Falls on New Year's Day, 1938, deep snow, and a car stuck in a snow drift. Also includes some nice images taken around Hopewell (New Jersey?), and several scenes of golfers taken on the Ridgewood golf course. The album concludes with several nice images of New York City, pictures taken of and from the Triborough and several other bridges, of the harbor, the Queen Mary, and many lovely cityscapes, including several taken from the Empire State Building. A very nice period album with a wide range of activities undertaken by a well-to-do family.
