Brand/Publisher: Unbranded; original vintage black and white gelatin-silver photograph album from the United States, centered on a young woman's family, school, and social life circa 1920s–1930s.
The album contains a sequence of small-format snapshot prints showing girls and young women posed outdoors, classmates gathered on school grounds, family groups on porches and in yards, and informal portraits of friends identified by handwritten captions.
Scenes highlight everyday domestic and community life, including a page titled "Second and Third Grades at San Antonio 1924," group photographs labeled "Phy Ed Class 1934," gatherings at "Wheeler Springs, CA," and views of individuals named Hazel, Deena, Margie, Ada, Pete, Gene, Arvel, Art, and others, along with an ownership inscription for "Miss Dorotha Vivian."
Additional images document automobiles, trucks, and motorcycles, men posed with work vehicles, and labor scenes such as drilling or quarry work, as well as landscape and woodland views, reflecting themes of travel, transportation, and working life.
Format: one string-bound green "Photographs" album with black paper pages and photo corners holding a total of 267 black and white gelatin-silver prints on paper and cardboard mounts, a one-of-a-kind (OOAK) social history resource for portrait, community, automobilia, and American life collectors.
Condition: Vintage photograph album shows handling and storage wear from age. Green textured covers have surface rubbing, scattered small spots, corner and edge wear, and fraying to the cloth cord at the binding holes, while the spine remains intact. Black interior pages display occasional creases, small edge tears, and soft corner bends, with some unused photo corners and one area retaining only fragments of a tiny portrait at the "Arvel" caption. Mounted gelatin-silver snapshots show light handling impressions, minor corner bends, and typical age-related toning, but images overall remain clear with faces, automobiles, motorcycles, and work scenes well defined, and approximately 267 photographs remain mounted throughout the album.
