Between the Covers

Hardcover. String-tied thick card boards measuring 8" x 10". Contains 12 cyanotype photographs next to 1" x 2.5" calendar pages. Wear on the corners else near fine with near fine photographs. A handmade calendar illustrated with amateur cyanotype photographs, most of which are of young ladies, affixed to stiff boards and tied together. Each page includes two small calendar pages with a photo to accompany each. The photos show women in the fashion of the day, some complete with elaborate hats, posing in a variety of places including a study, on the wheel of a carriage, and in a tree. One photo show representing October shows three girls around a bicycle while December depicts a graduate in full cap and gown. There is one group photo, presumably of a family, posing at a large picnic table for the month of July. All the photos, save two, are taken outside on what appears to be a family farm.

An interesting collection of amateur photographs of the turn of the century women used in an usual format with pleasing images.
