Scope and Content:
The Western Travel Album was probably compiled by a couple who are only known by their initials, Y.W.B. and
M.H.B., and consists of one hundred and
sixty silver gelatin developing-out paper snapshots plus one printed item, 8 x 5.5 cm. to 12 x 16.5 cm. in size.
The album documents the travels of Y.M.B. and M.H.B. and their friends in 1904 through the Canadian Rockies in British Columbia and
Alberta including Banff, Yoho, and Glacier National Parks. Also included are photographs from the Garden of the Gods, Cripple Creek, and Manitou Springs in Colorado,
the Great Salt Lake in Utah, Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, boating in Massachusetts, and the St. Louis World's Fair of 1904. There are a
few additional family snapshots dating from 1903 to 1906.
Provenance:
This album was purchased from Amalgre Books of Bloomington, Indiana, in November of 1996 (Catalog 15, lot #658).
Researcher Note:
The captions (including misspellings) in quotation marks were taken directly from the album. The notations in paranthesis are not part of
the original caption.
