Two photograph albums, 1923-1926. The smaller album documents Mershon's fishing and hunting trips to High Bank Lodge on the Au Sable River (Mich.), Cascapedia (Quebec), Buffalo Lake (Saskatchewan), Palo Verde (Calif.), Abendernshire (Scotland), and Chester (England), 1923-1926. The album contains many black and white photographs of fish, nature, hunting and fishing camp buildings, dogs, and people, including various Scots involved with his hunting trip, and [really cute photographs of] Phyllis and Muriel Curley (little girls) with Marsden, Mershon's cook, at High Point. The second, larger album documents a hunting safari to Kenya and includes black and white photographs of France, biplanes, Egypt (?), Nairobi and other places in Kenya, and various towns and cities in India and China, Sept.-Nov. 1923. The photographs in the larger album were taken on land, from on board ship, possibly the S.S. Leviathan (a liner), and from a biplane. There are photographs of Mershon's travel companions, native people, the countryside, jungles, shacks and fine buildings, the Uganda Railway trains and related buildings, wildlife, dead and dying African game, hunting dogs, a coffee plantation in Kenya, Chinese temples and sculptures, liners and boats, the Great Wall, destroyed buildings in France and China, and a cemetery, probaby a national one, in France. Both albums have black pages and covers. The smaller album has "Photographs" in gold on the cover. A nice, professional portrait of Mershon by Angell of East Saginaw is included with the larger album.
