Title: [Photo Album]: Canadian Ranch and Trip to Europe
Publication: 1880-1900

Description: Hardcover. Large oblong quarto. Measuring 11.5" x 10". Red pebbled cloth with gilt edges and "Photographs" stamped in gilt on the front board. A collection of 111 black and white or sepia-toned gelatin silver snapshot photographs affixed to white cardboard pages, with a few loose photos laid in. Photographs are mostly near fine with some creasing in a very good album with edgewear and spotting. A photo album featuring a large amount (approximately half) of the images set on a Canadian ranch in the late 1880s or early 1890s. The images include the stables, what appears to be someone operating on a sick (or possibly dead) horse, ranch hands in full cowboy dress complete with hat and lasso atop their horses, breaking horses, trick riding, and one particularly nice photograph showing a rider on a bucking horse. The album also contains a parade in Quebec City with hundreds of people lining the road several photos of buildings, and two photos showing the town circa 1880s. The latter part of the album show images from a trip to the town of Lourdes in Southern France, including the old fort and the National Shrine Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes. Also shown are various images of the Alps along with stagecoaches, glaciers, the Matterhorn, and mountain goats. A few photos show the St. Gotthard tunnel entrance, the third largest road tunnel in the world, while under construction, it was completed in 1881. A fascinating look at life on a Canadian ranch as well as an excursion to Europe for a mix of business and pleasure.
