Description
Pennsylvania, 1940. Hardcover. Near Fine. Quarto measuring 11" x 10". Red plastic photo album with gilt decorations. Contains 116 sepia-toned or black and white gelatin silver photographs measuring between 2.5" x 2.5" and 8" x 10" with few captions. Near fine photo album with near fine photographs. A photo album of a Pennsylvania family during World War II. Early in the album are seven large portrait style photographs of a soldier captioned George W. Patterson which show him in full uniform. He is seen posing inside an office as well as outside in a garden. One of these photos shows him with a woman presumably a sweetheart. Another of the larger photos shows George with a group of men laying a foundation for a house on a farm with a truck in the background. Following the portraits are a collection of snapshots of a newborn baby, Jack, and George on leave. The family lived on a farm and some of the photos feature a cow in the barn and picnics on the land. These photos show pictures of the adorable baby and his mother around their family home and later a smiling wartime father holding him in his arms. One cute photo shows the child dressed in a tiny navy uniform complete with hat. A few later photos show a deer from a hunting trip in 1956 hanging in a garage as well as a professional photograph of the grown up Jack probably used as a senior high school portrait. Additionally laid in is a newspaper article from 1974 discussing the adoption of a Vietnamese child whose father was an American G.I. during the Vietnam War by a Pennsylvania family in Bucks County. A modest but interesting collection of vernacular family photographs of a soldier and his family.
