Mitchell Family Photograph Album: An Album with Original Photographs of a travel by a family from Virginia to Cuba, Jamaica, Culebra Cut Panama Canal, Venezuela, Trinidad, Martinique, Puerto Rico, and some European countries. Ninety-six of the photos are of Caribbean islands, Panama and Venezuela. Most South American views are identified, and some of the European as well. As for a breakdown, there are 20 images of Santiago, Cuba, 9 of Kingston, Jamaica, 18 of Panama, 13 of Venezuela, 17 of Trinidad, Barbados, & Martinique, 9 of Puerto Rico and 10 of the Bahamas. As to ownership, the album has a page with photos of a man and woman entitled "owners of this album" and giving Lynchburg, VA as their home. Later on there are two photos showing what looks like same two people, this time titled as "Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell". From the Photographs, it is clear that the owners were B.J. Mitchell (wife) and J. (likely John) H. Mitchell (husband) and a female S.L. Mitchell, born February 24 (no year given) who seems to be the photographer and album maker.
