I found this photo album among my mother's genealogy collection.  I believe it was made by Sallie Dawson, b.1875, daughter of John William Dawson and his wife, Lucia Baird.

Hi Brenda, I think we met recently at NGS?
ReplyDeleteI love this post about this photo album. Congratulations for scanning it as it appears as the black construction-paper quality pages in the photo album can eat wonderful photos alive.
But I love photo albums from this era, with black pages, white ink, and mostly loving care with which they were assembled.
