Gift of James Sibley Watson, Jr.
DescriptionAlbum containing photographs (15 x 20 cm.) mounted 1 per page. These appear to have been made by an serious amateur, probably James Sibley Watson Sr. (likely pictured with a dead stag in 1978.1314.30) and to document a guided hunting trip to Montana and Wyoming. There are several pictures of guides and pack animals, tents and equipment, as well as many images of the wooded landscape and distant mountain ranges. The last 3 images in the album are of Yellowstone springs and geysers. The album is in very good condition, covered in black leather with title stamped in gold.
