Contemporary dos-a-dos blue & red padded velvet binding, articulated piano-hinge spine, nickel plated bosses on both covers, still preserving original nickel-plated clasp, decorated pastedowns, preserving original label for the Art Album Co. of Battle Creek Michigan, a.e.g. (minor chipping & tears to a couple of the die-cut windows, some wear & rubbing to velvet), still a remarkable exemplar, with all the images retaining excellent bright contrast & clarity. An outstanding Victorian dos-a-dos parlour photo album from a seemingly notable, and well-to-do Minneapolis, Minnesota family in the Gilded Age. On the "Blue" side the album opens with albumen boudoir-sized art photos of early Toronto, including a "birds-eye" view. The first boudoir photo includes a ink manuscript list of "a few interesting dates," with mentions of Edward Murphy, Jr. settling after 8 weeks passage (presumably Ireland) in Toronto, followed by his family of 9 in 1837. Other dates mention settling of George & James Walker in Toronto, 1837 Andrew joining the Volunteers on the Frontier, and in 1843 Edward opening his business a "98" Long Street, and building of the Terauley Street House (near present-day Univ. of Toronto, Toronto General Hospital, etc.). There are additional dates, and note that John Walker and family "went West" in 1846, but unfortunately for this cataloguer, there were a myriad of Edward Murphy's, John Walker's, and similar named families, none of whom seemed to match either the entry date points. Only documentary evidence was that an Edward Murphy, Jr. appears in the 1837 Toronto, ONT street directory. Edward's business appears to have been prosperous, as this album incorporates a wide range of studio photographers during the Gilded Age, from San Antonio to Chicago, Milwaukee to Minneapolis. Two of the albumen studio photos (1 boudoir, 1 cabinet) interestingly depict a montage of smaller cabinet photos capturing all the images of Company A, First Regiment, N.G.S.M., or the storied Minnesota First Regiment National Guard, at the time commanded by Captain John Amory. The Minnesota First Regiment is perhaps best remembered for their heroic charge in 1863 at the Battle of Gettysburg, and in the subsequent decades never lacked for sufficient recruits. The mounted CDV of an unidentified Civil War Corporal is included in the album, and may have been from either the Murphy, or Walker sides of the family, if the internal MS notes are to be referenced. Of special interest are the four wonderful albumen cabinet photos depicting the N.S. Toboggan Club -- North Star Toboggan Club founded in 1886, and formed for tobogganing sporting events during the Saint Paul-Minneapolis Winter Carnival, as well as competing against the Makwa Club, Flour City Club, and Snowshoe Club on their individual Toboggan slides -- basically uncontrolled and fast ice luge racing. The North Star Club's slide was West of Minnesota on Glenwood Hill in what is now Theodore Wirth Park. The toboggan slide was probably located near where ski jumps were built later after the area became Saratoga Park, then Glenwood Park, and finally Theodore Wirth in 1909. The group shot provides first names, or monikers, of the eight intrepid toboganners in Feb., 1887, and the three individual ones depict Boyd, Ballard & Dane, all wearing their price ribbons from the competitions. Many of the extended family members were captured by such Minnesota studio photographers as H.A. Anderson who operated at 428 Nicollet, and was the successor to H.R. Farr; the very popular James A. Brush, whose studios tented to move up and down Nicollet Ave., and Hennepin Ave. from 1875-1890; G.W. Floyd who first partnered with Power, and then expanded to three studios himself on Fifth and Hennepin; and William H. Jacoby (1841-1906) who with his son C.L. Jacoby produced the Minnesota First Regiment Christmas souvenir montage photos, and was active until his death in California, and even partnered with Haynes for a while, and perhaps best remembered for his robbers' portraits of the participants in the famed "Northfield" robbery. The photo of "Father" probably Edward Murphy, Jr. while in San Antonio, TX on business was taken by the Paris & Rothwell studio, operated by Arthur C. Paris and Isaac N. Rothwell on 11&13 West Commerce until 1892.
