Vintage Photograph Album from the Calais, Maine Area


Reprinted, with permission, from the Heirlooms Reunited blog

Vintage photograph album with text on the cover: Photographs, Souvenir of Calais, Maine

The album contains 23 photographs of people, places, gardens and an antique automobile, then presumably a contemporary one, which might help date the album.


Sadly, the photographs are glued to the pages, so it's unknown if any identifications are includes on the reverse.

The album presumably belonged to the couple shown in two of the photographs below, as one or both of them appear in several of the other photographs.  If you recognize this couple, please leave a comment so that this blog post can be amended.


Two photographs, below, that show scenes a reader might recognize:
  • top left photo of the near page below appears to be a walking trail along the water
  • right photo in the bottom page shows a woman with a house in the background, perhaps downstream past the mouth of the St. Croix River into Passamaquoddy Bay.



Two pages that show multiple people, perhaps relatives of the primary couple:



If you recognize a person and/or a place, please leave a comment for the benefit of other researchers.

All pages in order: click on any image to enlarge it.
