1911 Photo album of Swiss - American worker retreat in Western Pennsylvania; V. S. B. Helvetia / E. Pittsburgh

Hardcover. Photo album measures 7 x 5.25 inches, with 24 photos, mainly 5 x 4 inches, of what looks like a summer camping retreat or vacation by Swiss-American workers from E. Pittsburgh, a working-class town close to the mills. We are unsure what VSB stands for, but there is an American and Swiss flag, it's clearly summer, and the men besport themselves, bathing in the streams, cooking and possibly doing some hunting. Good condition, a few of the photos a bit tanned, one or two with minor abrasions, album showing some wear. Good. Item #H5060
