Up for auction is this 1890’s photo extravaganza. It pictures hunting, fishing, exploration, and maybe even a resettlement trip, leading from Connecticut, through Massachusetts, to Maine. There are 58 black and white photographs total, all measuring 7x5 or 6.6x4.6 inches; I believe the smaller photos were 7 by 5’s, but had their white boarders removed. The photographs are mounted one per page, both sides, in a maroon-colored album measuring 11x7.5 inches; it is 1.5 inches thick. The album is marked “THE REGENT ALBUM PATENT PENDING INTERCHANGABLE LEAVES, FELIX REIFSCHEIDER, NEW YORK, U.S.A.” From my limited detective work, the first place I could identify was Salisbury, Connecticut; the album contains a photograph of the town's Civil War Monument, the Cold Harbor Clustee dedicated in Salisbury in 1891. There is a photograph of a “St. James Hotel” but where? There was one in Bangor, Maine. Another identifiable photograph was of a storefront with “M. ABBOTT FRAZAR TAXIDERMIST CAMPERS OUTFITS SPORTING GOODS” painted on it; that store was located in Boston, Massachusetts.
