(SNAPSHOT ALBUM)
An album of approximately 175 diverse and compelling snapshots, including several remarkable
early flight snapshots, and a series of surreal and beautiful images of a balloon and small sky diver
heading towards a field. Also includes harbor scenes with boats and surf; artful studies of animals,
including two oval prints of a small rabbit, ox-driven carts, and fowl paddling in bodies of water;
small children; hunters, and their dogs with hunted fowl; river scenes; farms (and several pigs); and
several of what appears to be a visit to a more southern locale with images of palm trees and a small
bare foot boy, crumbling structures, and Spanish-language signage. Silver prints, most approximately
