Contains 48 sepia-toned photographs measuring 3" x 3.25", with captions. The images are inserted recto and verso into windows on 24 thick card leaves. The album has soiling, staining, and wear including fraying at the spine extremities thus very good with near fine photographs, some with slight fading. An album entitled "Views of St. Augustine, Florida and Vicinity" featuring early Kodak prints circa 1896 depicting views in and around St. Augustine, Florida, each with a manuscript caption below. The album features amateur shots of hotels, residences, churches, yachts, military fortifications, and sailing vessels. Also included are six photos of African-Americans and five of a family identified as the "Walton family." Some of the captions read: "shrimping from the seawall," "three little coons," "Battery 'J' 3rd Artillery U.S.A.," "ruins of San Marco Hotel the morning after the fire," "Steamboat 'Planter' from Charleston, South Carolina," and "torpedo boat 'Dupont' in Mantanzas River." A wonderful collection of early Kodak images of Florida.…
