Scope and content
Photo Album: Quebec and Miami. String-tied black leather over paper boards with "Photographs" stamped in gilt on the front board. Contains 316 sepia toned gelatin silver and 18 color photographs measuring between 3"x3" and 3"x4" affixed to stiff black paper, with captions. An album kept by a woman and her sister on a boat trip that began in Montreal, Canada, in what appears to be the 1940ss. The photographs show "views along the St. Lawrence River" which include the Jacques-Cartier Bridge as well as Capes Trinity and Eternity on the Saguenay River. One page shows the mountains on the Canadian leg of their travels with a visit to Quebec's Basilica of Sainte Anne de Beaupre and Montmorency Falls. After four empty pages the second half of the album continues with a trip to Florida, including Miami, (captioned here as "the Magic City") and Naples, with views of the cityscapes, palm trees, and the beach. The women pose around the docks, with tropical plants, visiting with friends, and posing with fish they have caught. There are a few pages of snapshots from a trip to a circus with photos of animals including elephants and giraffes. An extensive album documenting travel in Canada and Florida in the late 1940s.
