Period brown morocco album with gilt-lettered name "Samuel Parsons" on the front board and elaborate gilt-tooled decorative borders on both boards. Decorative endpapers; all edges gilt. Binding expertly repaired on hinges and extremities, but overall a very good album of strong interesting rare photos. Historically significant collection of rare early photos of San Francisco and its environs, originating from an affluent local family. As follows from the gilt-lettered name on the front board, the album was compiled by, for of in the memory of one Samuel Parsons. According to the U.S. Federal Censuses of 1870 and 1880, Samuel Parsons was born in ca. 1868 in San Francisco in the family of a Boston native, Charles Allen Parsons (1831-1893) and a Maine native, Elizabeth L. Parsons (1836-1892, née Green). In 1880, Samuel Parsons, then twelve years old, lived with his family at 14 Hill Street. "Langley's San Francisco Directory for the year commencing April 1886" lists Samuel Parsons (then about eighteen years old) as a clerk at the shop of a San Francisco wallpaper and window shade seller, "G.W. Clark & Co.;" Parson's residence is still indicated as "14 Hill Street" (Langley's San Francisco Directory for the year commencing April 1886. P. 936; see more) . The album opens with six partly hand-coloured cabinet portrait photos, evidently of Samuel Parsons, showing him from the baby age to his early twenties. All portraits are mounted on the official card of a pioneer San Francisco photographer, Isaiah Taber, known for producing portraits of noted Californians, a series of stereoscopic views of the West Coast and a collection of views and scenes of Hawaii (including portraits of King Kalakaua). Then follow two early photos of San Francisco private residences; the one on the right is Parson's house at 14 Hill Street (see number "14" above the front door). The other residence with the number "405" above the front door was not identified. Another excellent early photo on the official card of "Tobey & McCullough" depicts a San Francisco street (possibly Hill Street looking from the crossing with Valencia Street). The photo features wooden pavements and a dirt central part, street lamps and a leaving passenger cart, as well as the crossing with a cobblestone street. The album also contains a large, well-preserved view of the storefront of "Geo. W. Clark & Co.," featuring the company's elaborate advertising posters ("Paper hangings and window shades") and the house number - "645" (the shop was located at 645 Market Street). The shop's staff is posing at the front, with Samuel Parsons most likely standing first from right. The photo is mounted on the official card with printed credentials of the photographers ("Baker & Cathcart") and their address ("Room 21, St. Ann's building, Cor. Powell & Eddy Sts., S.F.") on the lower margin. Another early interesting photo depicts a scene of a public gathering in a rural locality (most likely in California), possibly during the foundation of a building. The other photos include portraits of the Parsons family and friends during leisure trips in the countryside. Five photos depict a party in a redwood forest and at a river, where they arrived by a small steam train. The other images portray Samuel, his father and two young women posing.
