Item #64908 : Original era photography. This outstanding album surfaced recently at a local antique shop, and consists of 51 original photo images taken during the Philippine Insurrection 1898-1899. Every photograph is identified as to content, and in some cases the individuals themselves. The content varies considerably, ranging from barracks views to the immediate casualty results of combat. Every page is of interest with none being typical "tourist" views. Several military units are mentioned, 12th Infantry, Oregon soldiers, etc., however I believe the owner of the album served with one of the Washington National Guard battalions which served there in 1898-99, as a photograph of the homecoming parade in downtown Seattle is included. All of the photos are hard mounted and laced into the album cover. Well worthy of further research. The album cover measures 7 x 6.5 x 1.5 inches.
