Irving Story Photograph Album

 Collection — Box: MS File 1
Identifier: MS-62

Scope and Contents

The photograph album contains pictures of Irving Story, who at the time was probably a student at New Hampshire and Cornell Universities, posing in outdoor scenes. The pictures are dated 1915-1924 and have handwritten captions. A presentation inscription on the endleaf reads, "For Irene from Irving. May 26, 1924. With my love, ICS." Many of the pictures show him in sporting clothes, out on hiking trips in the Northeastern United States. There is one photograph of him wearing a top hat and a tuxedo, and one of him holding hands with a woman -- presumably Irene. The photographs are pasted into a small printed book titled "The Man," which contained illustrations and directions for dressing as a fashionable man in the 1920s.
