    Photograph album of California and travels in the West

    Visual Materials

    This album comprises over 300 photographs on 142 pages, showing a young couple at home and on travels in Southern California, Arizona, New Mexico, Oregon and Mexico. Notable in the album are views of Southern California Edison power stations and equipment, 1918-1925, (pp. 116 – 135); the Ocean Park Pier fire, 1923 (pp. 69-73); and damage from the Long Beach earthquake, 1933 (pp. 136-143). "G.A.F." is embossed on the cover and there are many views of a man named "G. A. Follette," who is presumably the album compiler and may have been a Southern California Edison employee (see p. 54). Most photographs have handwritten captions, but people are named by first name only, except "Marcel Frenay" (p. 6). Other views include: P.E. Rod & Gun Club rabbit hunt, 1921 (p. 24, 26); Balboa Beach; Newport Beach; caves at La Jolla; Tahquiz Canyon; Mission San Juan Capistrano; Alpine Tavern (Mount Lowe); buffalo grazing at Balboa Park, San Diego; Mt. Rubidoux; San Gabriel Mission; Portland, Oregon; Tijuana, Mexico and a cockfight; cotton harvesting, Imperial Valley; automobile travel and camping; Topanga Canyon landslide (pp. 50-51); flying small airplane over Catalina Island (p. 61); movie set of a medieval castle in Griffith Park (p. 66); "Charles Nelson" ship at sea (p. 13); Spadena House and Willat Studio (a.k.a.
