The English landscape painter Andrew MacCallum ( 1821 - 1902 ) conceived this publication in memory of his deceased wife Susan Irlam whom had died in Antibes ( Southern France ) on the 24th of December 1875. The first photograph in the album is a portrait of his wife. The album consists of 28 large original photographs of his paintings, mounted on thick album leaves, with a printed caption underneath. The landscapes were made in Venice, Berchtensgraden, Mont Blanc, Monte Rosa , Rome, Fontainbleau.... Provenance. From the library of Robert Hoe (1839 - 1909), with a manuscript ex-dono from the artist and Hoe's ex-lbris. The library of Robert Hoe, first president of the Grolier Club, was auctioned in 1911-1912. Nearly half of the books were bought by Henry Huntingdon. Obviously a very rare publication. OCLC lists only one copy ( Mills College - Olin Library in Oakland CA. ).‎
