An interesting album, of photographs compiled by one photographer -presumably an amateur- which includes scenes in Missouri, Illinois, and Florida. The images, which start with scenes of street illumination in St. Louis, include views of significant architectural monuments and parkland in major cities, steamers coaling and loading grain on the Illinois Rover, and other vernacular subjects such as farms, gardens, rail yards, and people. The album jumps around between states, showing areas around St. Louis, Kansas City, Allendale, and St. Joseph in Missouri; Peoria, Pullman, and Patoka in Illinois, two photographs in Patriot, Indiana, located just south of Cincinnati on the Kentucky border; and views in Palatka, Jacksonville, Tampa, St. Augustine in Florida. A series of photographs centered on the Mclaine farm near Allendale includes studies of horses, workers, 'Moving an Old Frame House,' 'House Movers,' 'Temporary Quarters,' and a portrait of a workman clinging to a pole in the air entitled 'Chased by a Bull.'" -- description from William Reese Company
