John F. Bennett photograph album of Church history, 1847-1930.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/367956630

This collection contains one small black photo album. The album was made by John F. Bennett for Mr. and Mrs. George Albert Smith in the 1930s. It is similar to other albums put together by Bennett but is uniquely arranged with the Smiths in mind. Bennett used images created by several notable pioneer photographers such as William H. Jackson, C.R. Savage, George E. Anderson, C.W. Carter etc. The photographs selected should be considered some of the most notable images depicting the pioneer movement to the Salt Lake Valley and the development of Salt Lake City. Also included are images of LDS Church leaders including pictures of the Church's first presidencies from Joseph Smith to the presidency of Heber J. Grant. There are photographs of all of Brigham Young's wives, as well as group photographs of the leaders of several early church organizations. The Church Historical Department has at least two similar albums.
