Notes |
Purchased with Kubik Fine Books Ltd. Information with purchase was used for description - also included: "The family name is not identified. The album came out of an estate in Baltimore and reputedly is of a Baltimore family. An interesting example of an unknown family of some apparent wealth to take an extended Western vacation in the post-WWII era. In Las Vegas, the family stayed at the famed Moulin Rouge Hotel, the first desegregated caino in Vegas and there are five photos of the short-lived hotel." |
