Wonderful antique travel photograph album dating to 1903, containing approximately 54 original silver gelatin photographs. The album measures approximately 7.75 x 10 inches and includes photographs ranging from small snapshots to large panoramic views. Images remain mounted on their original black album pages, with many locations neatly identified in period white ink or on handwritten caption slips.
The album centers on Newfoundland, with an outstanding series from St. John\'s, Pushthrough, and surrounding coastal communities. Also included are views from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, and additional Canadian locations. Several photographs are panoramic and many appear to have been taken by the original traveler rather than commercially purchased.
Highlights include:
- Numerous scenic coastal views of Pushthrough, Newfoundland
- Harbor scenes with sailing vessels, schooners, and steamships
- Fishermen, docks, wharves, and waterfront businesses
- Labeled view of John Sutton, Pushthrough
- Main Street scenes in St. John\'s, Newfoundland
- Market Day street scenes in Halifax
- Large panoramic views overlooking Halifax Harbour
- Suspension bridge over a river gorge
- Provincial Building, Queen Square, Charlottetown
- Post Office, Queen Square, Charlottetown
- George III cannon in park, Charlottetown
- Old well and site of chapel & priest\'s dwelling
- Rural Newfoundland homes and log cabins
- Harbor shipping, churches, commercial buildings, and waterfront industries
- Several identified panoramic city and harbor photographs
- Album dated \"Aug. 1903\" on one page
Many photographs retain handwritten captions identifying locations and subjects, including Newfoundland, Pushthrough, Opposite Pushthrough, John Sutton, Halifax Market Day, Main Street in St. John\'s, Post Office and Provincial Building in Charlottetown, George III Cannon in Park, and a log cabin beside the railroad in Newfoundland.
This is an exceptional early twentieth-century travel album documenting Atlantic Canada and Newfoundland just before the modern era. The combination of identified Newfoundland fishing communities, Halifax street scenes, Charlottetown landmarks, panoramic harbor views, military fortifications, and maritime subjects makes this an especially desirable historical photographic record.
