EARLY 1900s PHOTO ALBUM - HAWAII And OAKLAND, CA -

7.5" x 10.25" suede bound photo album with "Photographs on the cover. This early 1900s album belonged to Melvin Nicoll, who I believe was was born in Hawaii. Most of the photos inside appear to be from Hawaii, including a page of what seems to be well-known Hawaiians. There is also a larger photo of Queen's Hospital in Honolulu, and there are several photos of nurses throughout. There are 145 photos in total, which are of various sizes and glued to the page. Many of the photos are identified, though they can be amusing captions, and/or with names.

Included in the album is a page of more recent notes, that looks to be written by a family member. Some of the notes refer to photos inside, including photos of Melvin who had an accident with crutches. The paper also notes that Melvin wento to California for more schooling in 1906 and stayed until 1911.

The album was once bound by ribbon, which has disintegrated, otherwise it appears to be complete and a bit of a puzzle to figure out.
