This lavish and unique five-volume photograph album records a hunting trip to the Canadian Rockies in 1916-17. Each photograph in the album is hand-tinted with watercolours and mounted on its own page. The album's large and heavy pages provide a generous frame for each picture, creating a setting that would be appropriate for an original work of art. 

The album belonged to Cleveland millionaire Kenyon Vickers Painter.
