1946 · réf. 74245 — Rockford IL: Album Photo Service 1946. This is an unusual little photograph album. It is comprised of 51 original photographs of a hunting expedition via dog sled in the Yukon and Alaska. The photographs measure 6 x 3 3/4 inches but for three smaller ones. They are numbered on the back and there is a typed sheet laid in giving title for all the photographs. Housed in a pinned binding of blue wrappers. The wrappers advertise the developing company Artisto Snapshots; Album Photo service Rockford Illinois and are merely what the developing company used to house their photographs. Wrppaers with edge ching by the photographs are all very nice.The list of captions state there were 56 photographs but the album only contains 51. Perhaps the last few didn't come out as well as hoped. They all detail a hunting trip by a group of men using dog sleds as transportation so naturally there are a fair number of photographs dealing with the teams. They were somewhat successful as we have pictures of a downed brown bear and a Moose. There are also numerous photographs of interest aside from the hunting aspect; Dawson City aerial view; a man displaying a giant rack of pelts; Ice break-up on the Mackenzie; Norman Wells; Indian canoe; Road and Pipeline near Canol; Refinery near Whitehorse; Teslin River etc. A fun and unique piece.
