Collection of Salt Lake City Area Hunting and Fishing Photos
1907: Utah. Photograph. 43 silver gelatin prints, mounted with adhesive to loose album leaves, some accompanied by handwritten captions in pencil. Most images measure 14 cm x 8 cm. Ten of the images depict the streets of Salt Lake City, including the courthouse, after a freak storm in the month of May blanketed the area in snow. The rest of the images relate to the hunting and fishing exploits of a group of men in the Salt Lake City area, including images of fishing on the Bear and Jordan Rivers, the training of hunting dogs (one captioned "we got forty dollars for the lower one"), a hunting lodge in the woods, plus images of a duck hunting roost, showing hunters hanging out on a porch alongside freshly killed game hanging from the eaves and from their automobile. A sign on the roost lists the nicknames of members of the hunting lodge. Images quite clear and sharp, album leaves creased, toned, and foxed. Images peeling off of album leaves. A handful of images chipped and torn at the edges. One image completely detached. Good +. Item #70772
