Softcover. Zustand: Very Good. Oblong quarto measuring 12" x 10". Textured black cloth over flexible paper boards. Contains 121 black and white or sepia toned gelatin silver photographs measuring between 2" x 3.5" and 6" x 10" with some captions. Very good photo album with rubbing and edgewear with near fine photographs. A photo album compiled by Mr. and Mrs. James Mason of East Orange, New Jersey while on a cross country road trip to California beginning in May of 1915. A small clipping from a newspaper reads, "Mr. and Ms. James Mason, East Orange, New Jersey will leave their family on May 3, 1915 on a motor trip to the West on the Overland Trail. They will be away a year and make their temporary home in Mill Valley, California." A small description of the start of their trip is typed and affixed to the first page. "At 4:30 p.m. on May 3, 1915, bidding goodbye to our numerous kind friends, we left East Orange, N.J. for California." It continues, "our total load was about 4600 lbs and our horsepower 29.4 on our distant running board we carried 3 ½ gals. Gas and a toolbox containing provisions. our mileage for the first day was 65 and average speed 20 m.p.r. Gas 6 gals." The album continues with short entries discussing destinations, miles driven, and their provisions as well as photographs from their various stops. The first leg of their trip was through New York where they "glided swiftly passed many large homes with beautiful gardens.we were most impressed by the fact that hardly any cars passed us and we saw very few people in the small villages or around the farmhouses." The photos show the car as well as the Mason's picnicking and enjoying the sights along the way. Many of the photos show the expanse of American roads and countryside with images of farms, railroads, and the passing landscape. Also included are newspaper clippings from various stops including Iowa and Nebraska mostly discussing the weather. Once in California they visited Monterey, Big Basin, La Jolla, Oakland, and Stanford University. One section of photos shows the couple visiting the Redwoods. The Masons and their friends are photographed standing in a line showing how large the trees are. Another photo shows their car at an overlook near San Fernando. They photographed their car near the hills and valleys of California and took photos of the beach, ferns, and palms trees. Two large photographs are taken of the Pacific Ocean with crashing waves. The couple also visited Yosemite with photos of the mountains and falls of the national park. Also included are pictorial postcards from their trip and later photographs from their trip back to the east coast. An interesting account of an early American bi-coastal road trip.…
