Photo Album by Sallie Dawson, About 1910

I found this photo album among my mother's genealogy collection.  I believe it was made by Sallie Dawson, b.1875, daughter of John William Dawson and his wife, Lucia Baird.

  1. Hi Brenda, I think we met recently at NGS?

    I love this post about this photo album. Congratulations for scanning it as it appears as the black construction-paper quality pages in the photo album can eat wonderful photos alive.

    But I love photo albums from this era, with black pages, white ink, and mostly loving care with which they were assembled.
