Genuine Antique Travel Booklet
1900
Maker: Morris
Antique photo booklet designed and published by G.W. Morris of Southampton on Long Island, NY. The booklet is undated, but is probably from sometime around 1900, based on the clothing worn in the photos and the early automobiles in some of the photos. Twenty pages with images, some with multiple images on one page, depict life in Southampton at the beginning of the 20th century, including a fire department with carriages drawn by horses, horse racing, the Life Saving Station, Country Residences of various notable people, the library, railroad depot, Main St, and more. Each page measures about 5 x 7 inches. Originally held together with a simple string binding, the string has deteriorated and is lost, but could easily be replaced. Very good antique condition with some soil and stains on the jacket, but the images within are very clean.
