Price: $1,200.00

Softcover. Oblong octavo. 10" x 7". String-tied Cloth over flexible boards with "Photographs" in gilt on front board. Approximately 130 gelatin silver photographs. Corners of boards a little rubbed, very good. Images near fine. Very well-captioned in white album ink. An album kept by Louis Heath Romey, beginning with portraits of four fraternity brother at Syracuse University in June of 1922, followed by images of other fraternity brothers. Subjects begin with sporting events including track and field, crew, and hunting. Apparently Romey was a member of a National Guard unit and he is pictured in a few such images, one labeled: "Troop on strike duty - Ohio 1923." More than half of the album is devoted to a fishing trip: "Start of six weeks trip to Big French River, Canada. Muskelunge Fishing -1921." The images are particularly well-framed and include pictures of the "Indian Guides", campsites, fishing images, catches, campfires, and wilderness and campfire shots. Also Included is a clipping of Romey's marriage to Viola Werne of Berkeley, California revealing that Romey is about to start work as a salesman in Cleveland, Toledo, and Buffalo, N.Y. A pleasing album revolving around Syracuse and fishing in Canada.
