Western Photography. Travel
A Tour Including Some of the Garden Spots of the Arid West; Affording an Opportunity to See What Has Been Accomplished Through Irrigation. caption title
Various locations in the West 1909. Very good. Forty-seven leaves containing forty-one photographs 4 x 6 inches supplemented by postcards and a few newspaper clippings. Oblong octavo album. Original leather cover gilt black paper leaves. Spine perished but holding covers worn. Some leaves intentionally trimmed on fore edge. Two photos loose and laid in. Contents clean and fresh. An interesting album documenting a train trip to the Western United States taken by several businessmen from Chicago on a tour to study irrigation investments in Colorado Idaho and Wyoming. The album starts out with panels from the trip brochure pasted onto the first two leaves followed by newspaper clippings documenting the trip as well as a map of the train routes in the west and a sheet of stationery signed by all the members of the party. The trip was organized by Trowbridge & Niver a municipal bond company based in Chicago and one Denver newspaper headline notes "Half-Billion Dollars Represented in Party. Many are already backing projects here and are making trip to investigate." Each photograph is captioned with a typed label documenting stops along the route starting with Fort Morgan Colorado. There are several images of Eldorado Springs including the swimming pool and a large building whose roof says "Moving Pictures" which we presume to be an early movie theatre. There are many group shots of the "Buffalo Party" along the way all looking quite dapper in caps and touring coats out to spend their millions. One image shows the group on a tour by buggy captioned "Our party inspecting irrigated orchards at Palisade Colorado." There are three photographs of Salt Lake City followed by a series in Idaho which includes a charming photo of several women laughing captioned "Shoshone Indians at Pocatello Idaho." There is a series taken along the Snake River in Idaho and Oregon followed by several images taken in Boise. This cataloguer's favorite is a pair of photos taken at the local pool showing the men in their swimsuits: "Buffalonians in the Natatorium Boise." The final four photos depict the group at stops in Wyoming. Throughout the compiler has used postcards to set the scenery for the trip using the photographs to capture the group itself on tour. Altogether a wonderful album documenting a business trip yet assembled like a family vacation album or young woman's scrapbook. The format speaks to the novelty of such a trip even for businessmen in the early years of the 20th century. unknown books
