EICKEMEYER, RUDOLF (1862-1932)
Personal travel album entitled "Our Trip to California" with 55 photographs, including an installation view of Eickemeyer's exhibition at the Smithsonian Institution, scenic landscapes of Arizona, the Grand Canyon and other picturesque locations, and scenes of Native-American pueblos. Silver prints, 5 1/2x3 1/2 inches (14x9 cm.), several with handwritten captions on mount recto. Folio, gilt-lettered black cloth, covers soiled; Eickemeyer bookplate and credit label with an extensive list of exhibitions on the front pastedown along with his handwritten notations "unfinished." Circa 1930
- Notes: A lovely album that offers a personal glimpse into this professional photographer's methodology. Eickemeyer, a member of the Linked Ring and Camera Club of New York, received 10 Gold, Silver and Special Medals at various international exhibitions. According to a label on the front pastedown, the Smithsonian Institution acquired the complete collection of Eickemeyer's work in June 1929. Apparently the following year, on a snowy winter's day, the photographer and his wife left their hometown of Yonkers for a lengthy motor trip, where they stopped in Washington, drove to New Orleans, and spent time exploring the southwest and California.
