$350.00 (photograph album) . ORIGINAL AFRICAN AMERICAN PHOTOGRAPH ALBUM 1923 - 1954 WITH 139 ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAPHS (117 OF AFROAMERICANS)
Album is 11 x 15 inches with 139 photos, most about 2 x 4 inches, of which 117 are of Afro-Americans. Most photographs are mounted, 10 are loose. Original dark brown cloth covered album boards have been re-attached with later paper spine. There is also a report card laid in for William Matthews, 6th grade, 1954-55. About half of the photographs are identified or dated. Dates range from 1923 to 1954. Appears to have been the photograph album of a younger female relative of Florence Sparrow as there is a picture labelled "myself". Flo Sparrow's name is the name most frequently mentioned in the album. Her name is on quite a few of the pictures and she signed William's report card each quarter of the school year. Florence and most all of the African Americans in the photographs worked at Turners Tavern, Bethlehem, New Hampshire, in the White Mountains according to the notes. There is a picture of Florence working in her maid's outfit getting the Tavern ready for a birthday party. Some of the other women are labelled as waitresses, some men are valets, some drivers and so on. There is a photograph of: helps cottage, and another of: bell boy's cottage, and several postcard views of the interior of the Tavern. One interesting photograph, 5 x 8 inches, shows a school class of 5 years olds, which is dated 1949 which is integrated about fifty-fifty racially. One family Florence clearly got to know well was a wealthy white family, the Wrights.There are two large photographs, 8 x 10 inches each, showing Sarah Jan Wright on her horse Silver Crest and her sister Patricia Wright on her horse Spottie which have in a child's handwriting on the back: "To Flo from Sarah Jane Wright" as well other pictures possibly of the Wrights. There is a photo of the white owners of the Tavern. But the vast majority of the photographs are of Flo, the Tavern staff and Flo's friends and these photos document a smiling and relaxed group of people, some with joking poses and amusing captions. There are quite a few photographs with people posing next to or leaning on a large sign reading "Turner's Tavern" giving the viewer the feeling that the people shown in the photographs took pride in working at this establishment. Highly unusual and intriguing document of social history. Unique. Good condition, worn but intact. (a76506)

Naomie Reynolds worked as a maid for Mrs. George B. Peters of Memphis for 35 years until 1941 when Naomi seems to have moved to Chicago briefly then moved back to Memphis. All of the Christmas cards are addressed to Naomi. Five of the 15 letters are written to Naomi; 3 are written to Clementine Pipes (who married Wayne B. King in Memphis in 1946. King likely was related to the famous B. B. King as one piece of emphera is a dated stamped envelope with a diabetes medicine advertisement addressed to "B B King in Tishomingo, Mississippi" dated 1925 which was the hometown of the famous musician but cannot be him as the famous BB was born in 1925 (Clementine was a student at Fisk University in 1941.) Three letters are written by J. C. Fox, 1944 to his wife and boys, while he was in Army training in Camp Forest Tennessee (relationship to Naomi is unknown.) Four additional letters are to/from assorted family members and dated 1893 to 1937. Letters are addressed to Ida Garrett, Bettie Pulliam, B. C. M. Carley, and M. L. Pipes. Naomi and Mrs. Laura Williams lived at same address and some of the letters are addressed to both of them. Interesting collection - how very much one wishes there were many more letters. (a81771)
