Between the Covers

Softcover. Oblong quarto. Flexible black cloth with "Photographs" in gilt on front wrap. Some staining on the front wrap, some images mounted too close to the margin and creased, and in a few cases torn on the edges, overall very good. 159 mounted gelatin silver images, with 10 additional images laid in to make a total of 169 images. Various sizes, with 4½" x 2¾" predominating. Only a few captions visible on the versos (two of Carmel-by-the-Sea, California). The vast amount (and probably all but the two in Carmel) are outdoors images set in Idaho. A few larger images are backmarked by a Boise photographer and images of a car that is in several images displays an Idaho license plate. The images include several of men and women shooting, posing with fish and of fishing streams, dead deer and other animals (one of a deer hanging from the porch of a Conoco gas station, another of deer strapped to the running board of a car), stretched hides, images of horses and sheep (including a woman riding a sheep and a large image of a flock), camping and tents, a mine shed and mining camp, cabins and small farms, woods, and someone peering out of an outhouse. A nice geographically and subject specific photo album, with women well-represented.
