    Album of amateur snapshots taken during trips chiefly in California, New England, and Yellowstone Park, Wyoming, from 1903 to 1905, with handwritten captions identifying the locaions depicted. The album begins with photographs documenting a trip to California beginning in the Yosemite Valley in May 1903 before progressing to Mariposa Grove, the Sacramento River, Shasta Springs, Sisson (Mount Shasta), San Francisco, the University of California, Berkeley, campus, including houses identified as "my homes," Santa Cruz, Monterey, the Hotel Del Monte, and the Santa Barbara Mission. There are images of New England and Upstate New York from 1903 to 1905 including Lake Pleasant, Massachusetts, Deerfield Valley, Connecticut, Charlestown, New Hampshire, South Framingham, Massachusetts, winter in Boston Harbor (1903-04), Lake Winnipesaukee, Seal Harbor and Mt. Desert Maine, and the New York State Capitol in Albany. There are also photographs from a trip in Summer 1905 to Yellowstone Park, Wyoming, with stops along the way in St. Paul, Minnesota, and at Minnehaha Falls, Minneapolis. Of note are a few photographs of President Theodore Roosevelt's arrival in Yosemite, including one captioned "President Roosevelt and John Muir." The photographs primarily depict the natural scenery including waterfalls, lakes, trees, and mountains, as well as hotels, tourist destinations, and landmarks. There are also some images of ice skating, sledding, and sleigh rides during the winter of 1904-05 in New England. The compiler of the album is unidentified though there is one photograph of a young couple on horseback at Yosemite labeled "You and I."

    Photographic Travel Album of the Southern and Western United States

    Visual Materials

    This personal album features artistically-composed photographs of often-visited sights and scenery from Louisiana to the Western United States. The photographs were taken by an unknown photographer, and were beautifully printed and mounted, with hand-lettered ink captions. Thirty-six of the forty-nine photographs are of California cities, landmarks or landscapes, but there are also views of New Orleans, Texas, and Arizona. This collection includes photographs of Missions San Gabriel, San Juan Capistrano; San Fernando, Santa Barbara, San Miguel, and Carmel; Chinatown in San Francisco; Golden Gate Park; Mt. Tamalpais; Hotel Potter in Santa Barbara; Los Angeles; Long Beach; Avalon Bay in Santa Catalina Island; Riverside, California; Ocean Park; and Rancho Camulos. Of note are two photos at the Santa Barbara Mission that include clergy posed in the scenes. Other California locations include Redlands, Riverside and city scenes in San Francisco. There are views of buildings in New Orleans; the Alamo (San Antonio, Texas); San Xavier Mission (Texas); the ruins of Casa Grande (Arizona); and landscapes of Texas and Arizona. This album was probably owned by "C. W. Hornick," whose name is engraved on the album's front cover; he may also be the photographer. Item titles transcribed from written captions for each photograph.
