Included are several light romantic tableaus, posed by young adult acquaintances of the photographer and sometimes titled with a literary reference. There are also woodland scenes in Pennsylvania and Michigan, (one includes the photographer holding her camera) and a series of images made of plants in the Joseph Berry greenhouse in Detroit. Album is in fair condition, however, some of the stiff board pages have come loose from their linen binding. The leather album has also been covered and lined in the interior covers in plastic kitchen "contact paper." Contains a typed biographical sketch of the photographer.
