Description
Tres Arroyos, Argentina: Ejercito De Salvacion, 1929. Very good. 8¾" x 7¾". Cloth over boards, post-bound and string-tied. 21 stiff card leaves with 75 B&W photographs adhered both sides + interleaving tissue. Photos range from 3¼" x 2 " to 4 " x 6½" (most 3¼" x 5 ", one copy 3" x 8¼") and all are captioned on the image or the page. Album good: rear cover detached and cloth mostly perished; loss to lower edge of front board and cloth; light dust-soiling at edges; interleaves toned. Photos generally very good or better. This is a great album of snapshots revealing a children's home run by the Ejercito De Salvacion (Salvation Army) in Tres Arroyos, Argentina. It was dedicated to a Commissioner and Mrs. Turner "by the Staff of the Home on the occasion of their farewell from the Territory in 1929. The Salvation Army established its presence in South America in 1890 with the arrival of four officers (who at the time spoke no Spanish) to Buenos Aires. Their work soon expanded to other countries, and the Salvation Army in Argentina (as well as the Tres Arroyos children's home) continues to operate to this day. Captions in this album appear in two different hands, one in precise (if stoic) cursive, the other wry, ironic, in all caps. It holds a panorama and street scenes of Tres Arroyos ("Our own little Paris France"), various views of the home, Catholic church and city buildings. There are shots of a "widow bringing her children to the home" and a "happy crowd" of wards, many with (false) names identified. We see groups of children sitting mournfully in front of empty soup bowls and not all that much happier on "Christmas Day," views inside a classroom and a bedroom, "little ones taking the sun" and two boys with a long line of boots to be shined. Our sincere compiler points out children "drilling" and at "play time," at work on the farm, shots of boys busy in the "printing works" and girls in the "knitting factory." There are images of youths "ready for an outing" via automobile and "Auto-bus" and waiting for the train to the "annual picnic," where we're then shown a group of laughing staff and kids, "roasting the sheep." Groups of older girls deemed "Search leaders" are shown in Girl Scout-type outfits while younger girls (the "Sunbeams") were "ready for demonstration." The book ends with an image of the "funeral of the little girl of the managers of farm." A lovely set of shots showing a Salvation Army children's home in Argentina.
