[Collection of Over One Hundred Photographs of Bermuda, Featuring Local Scenery]

  • [Bermuda , 1910
By [Bermuda]
[Bermuda, 1910. About very good.. 101 photographs on eighteen card leaves, previously bound into an album. Light dampstaining along top edge, slightly affecting a few images. Minor wear else, images generally crisp and clean with minimal fading. A few penciled captions. A nice group of images of Bermuda taken around the turn of the century, likely the result of someone's vacation. While there are several group shots and the obligatory photo of someone with an interesting bit of scenery, much of the former album is devoted to local color. These include images of a local stone quarry; a nice vignette of a Black man playing the banjo while seated on the steps in a park; street scenes in Hamilton; workers cutting what appears to be sugar cane; local houses; several shots of the West Indian Regiment; "Country Store #27"; a group of local Black children; as well as images which capture the beauty of the island.
