Cat Photographs from 1929
/Sarah J. Eddy’s Alexander and some other cats was published in 1929 with black and white photographs. Many of the pictures are dated by the clothes of people with the cats….or backgrounds. The three sample images I chose could have been taken today. Cats are photogenic! The book is available in Internet Archive and is my eBook of the week.
The author – according to her Wikipedia entry – was a artist, photographer and activist. “In 1894, Eddy wrote and illustrated a short article "A Good Use for the Camera" for The American Annual of Photography. In the article, Eddy concludes that the personal interactions she had with her photographic subjects were as rewarding as the finished images.”
