This came from an album of lovely, well exposed, carefully considered photographs, taken by a newly married couple in America. The album came with some notes by one of the bride\'s daughters-in-law, which identified who the couple were, with other information too.
The Groom was Gordon Smith, an Englishman from London, who moved to America and became a photographer. He may have had sea fishing experience, because he wrote the book \'One Man and His Sea\', concerning one day in the life of a Cape Cod fisherman.
The Bride was Virginia Smith nee Smith, a violinist - the couple met through music. Virgie\'s elder sister Vere Elizabeth. was a bridesmaid. They were close and Vere went on the honeymoon with them!
It was for their honeymoon in May 1952, that they took this road trip, from Buffalo to Jackson, Mississippi, making a photographic record as they travelled. The bride Virgie Smith had relatives in the South, who feature in some of the photographs.
They went to Mississippi via Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee and returned through North Carolina, the Great Smoky Mountains and the Blue Ridge Parkway.
The couple made typed captions for most of the photographs and attached them in the album beside the image. Where present, the typed caption is sold with the photograph.
The landscape format photographs measure 3.75 x 4.75 inches (or 4.75 x 3.75 for portrait format). So a good decent size for remounting or placing in a collection.
I combine postage, so if you buy more than one item, please wait for an invoice.
