Summary: This album of early 20th century travel photographs belonged to Philadelphian Mathilda Potter (1879-1973). The album is brimming with black and photographs, with some panoramic ones, that show Mathilde and various acquaintances in different locales, some within the eastern U. S., like Jamestown, Rhode Island; and Lake Mohawk, New York; and some overseas, such as Bermuda and Bad Nauheim, Germany. Many photographs are labeled with names, places, and dates, with Mathilde herself noted throughout. The photographs are candid in nature, and feature people playing tennis, swimming, boating, driving, taking in the sights, and enjoying their surrounding company. There are also images of landscapes, landmarks, and a few scenes featuring animals.
