Subjects captured include a group of hunters posed on a porch with a uniformed man, perhaps at a Kineo cottage; campsite scenes where hunters wash up, smoke, or play cards; hunters proudly posing with bagged deer throughout the album and and in photos laid-in, deer lying on the ground after the kill and hanging in groups from pole structures; water scenes, including one with canoeing hunters; a photo of a bird perched on a hanging deer, etc. An unrelated laid-in postcard of a farmhouse is entitled "Link View. Orono, Maine". A nice album evoking the Golden Age of sporting in Maine. CONDITION: Good, tonality of photos generally good, most photos with some spotting, one leaf detached.
