DescriptionContains matte gelatin silver and gelatin POP snapshots documenting the activities of a New Hampshire family. Majority of images are of the family's summer cottage at Wallis Sands, at Rye Beach, along the New Hampshire seacoast. These include informal shots as well as some posed scenes, some including the family servants and small black children encountered on the beach. Nearly all of the images are cut and arranged on the page, square and circular black ink borders separate images, and most are captioned and embellished with line details. The family's businesses, a jewelry store and a greenhouse, are documented. There are two interior views of a dormitory room at Dartmouth College. A few of the images have been removed from the pages, but otherwise the album is in very good condition. A label identifies the it as a "Howard Album" with interchangeable cards.
