 Snapshots, 1899-1900








Was this a student's scrapbook? Did she or he work in a printing house or a shop that got giant catalogs of merchandise? The photos are all glued onto squares, the pages reused. Lots of captions, explanations, from Pasadena to Atlantic City, the classroom to the beach. Including a pet skeleton named Toby. 1899-1900.
