Background

Scope and Content:

The Cook family photograph album (15cm x 12cm) contains 16 cartes-de-visite, 6 tintype prints, and 2 card photographs. The pictures are studio portraits of members of the Cook, Augsbury, and Zoller families taken in Cedar Rapids, Iowa; Boone, Iowa; and Watertown, New York, in the late 19th century. Most photographs feature women, infants, and young children, and a list of captains identifies each person pictured. One card photograph shows a daguerreotype studio portrait of a young girl. The album's brown leather cover is stamped with decorative designs, some in gold. One of the volume's two original metal clasps is still affixed to the back cover.

Thomas Z. Cook, a crockery dealer, and his wife Mary lived in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, in the late 19th century. In 1900, their son Samuel married Winifred Augsbury, the daughter of James Winfield Augsbury and Eugenia Zoller.
