    Photograph album of outdoor recreation and actress Sarah Bernhardt visiting upstate New York

    Visual Materials

    An album of snapshots of outdoor recreation around lakes in the Adirondack Mountains, New York, followed by candid photographs of the actress Sarah Bernhardt and unidentified men and women in Wanakena and Ithaca, New York. The mountain scenes depict people camping and boating at Cranberry Lake with a "Professor Herrick," and logging operations at Oswegatchie River Dam. People are mostly unidentified, but there are two photographs of Bernhardt captioned with her name. She is seen standing in winter clothes in Cayuga Heights, Ithaca, and possibly in another, picnicking in the woods. It is unclear what her connection is to the others, including a man identified as "Lin" or "L.A." and a "Mrs. Allen." They are possibly members of a theater troupe travelling with Bernhardt through upstate New York.
