Ye Olde Photograph Album Clippings

Description:

The Lansing State Journal newspaper ran a feature called "Ye Olde Photograph Album" in its pages from approximately 1936 to 1943. It consisted of a vintage photograph, often sent in by a reader, with a brief caption, each time the feature appeared. Photographs depicted all sorts of scenery, people, and events from the Lansing area, mostly from the 19th century. Lansing historian Ford Ceasar clipped these from the paper and pasted them in an oversized ledger binding with pages that were cut from various Motor Wheel blueprints. Many of the clippings were not pasted in but stuck between the pages loosely as well. Several blank blueprint "pages" were part of the ledger and have been kept. It is not known if this is a comprehensive set of the "Ye Olde..." feature. Dates have not been included with most of the clippings.
