[Album of photographs and snapshots of the Vermejo club and surroundings]
Rare Books
An album with approximately 250 photographs of the Vermejo Club and ranch in northern New Mexico and southern Colorado, with views of the central buildings and landscape. Photographs of the exteriors and interiors of buildings are all on the first 17 pages of the album, with scenes of families at rest, playing tennis, and practicing archery. The interiors of the buildings are lavishly decorated, particularly the large hall that appears in several photographs and has a pool table, bear skin rug, and taxidermied wolf. Other rooms shown include bedrooms, sitting rooms, a bathroom, and an office. The photographs also include landscape scenes and various activities of ranch life, including horseback riding, hunting, and fishing. Outdoor scenery includes ponds and streams, wooded areas, and rock formations. One of the photographs appears to show the taxidermied wolf from the great hall posed outdoors, as though it is a wild animal.
