His work is found in numerous public collections, including MoMA, Studio Museum of Harlem, Smithsonian Institution, and the Museum of Fine Arts (Boston), among others. When discussing his watercolor studies of musicians and dancers at the Savoy Ballroom in Harlem, Yarde stated: "The Savoy became a source of creativity, joy, and strength to me, which I want to share and honor." Mount Holyoke College Art Museum, in 1982, presented a travelling exhibition "Savoy: An Installation by Richard Yarde," which was also shown in San Diego, Baltimore, and The Studio Museum, Harlem.

Contemporary black textured cloth, string tied. Small stain near right edge of front cover. Internally very clean and well organized. A voluminous collection of photographs picturing the lives and travels of Pat and Marge Williams, centered on their ranch in Colorado.

Several photographs capture farming activities including the harvesting of the alfalfa crop and the threshing of the wheat. The album also includes photos of the area around the ranch and within Colorado, in places such as North Park, Estes Park, Cheyenne Plains, Grand Lake, and Fort Collins, with images of Long's Peak, Mary's Lake, Spanish Peaks, Big Fish Lake, White River, Trapper's Lake, and others. The album also features locations visited by the compiler in the American West and Southwest, with informative photos of Taos Mountain, Cimarron Canyon, Kit Carson's house, the pueblos and ruins in Taos and Puye, House Rock Valley, Bryce Canyon, Zion Canyon, and other sites in New Mexico, Arizona, Wyoming, and Utah. Some of the original photographs and postcards feature Native American subjects, such as Native American women in Taos, "Victoriano Sisneras and Wife" in Puye, and Navajo rug weavers at work in Arizona. Other interesting images depict a "Hopi Watch Tower" in the Grand Canyon, the Mojave Desert, "Old Fort Bridger" in Wyoming, "Dinosaur tracks near Tuba City," and the Colorado River Bridge at Lee's Ferry. The final eighteen leaves, encompassing about ninety-six photos and postcards (mostly the latter) record numerous scenes in various locations in Mexico. A far-reaching collection of vernacular images and pictorial postcards capturing numerous locations in the American West and Southwest during the mid-1930s.
