Antonio W.W. Evans Photograph Album
Scope and Contents Note
Antonio W.W. Evans created this photo album in 1902 of his trip to Mexico. It appears that the album was meant as a gift to someone because the last page is a handwritten note from Evans. The photo album is preserved in its original form. The brown leather exterior cover reads, "Nuestro Viaje A México. Diciembre 1902." Hand-written descriptions are written next to the photographs throughout the album and it is formatted like a scrapbook. There are 113 images. The last page has a personal note from Antonio Evans to an unknown individual. It is signed by Evans and his picture is on the last page. [An Antonio Evans appears in a 1900 Census Record in San Antonio, Texas and his occupation is listed as commercial traveler. It lists this Evans as being born in 1864 in Argentina to a mother born in Chile and a father born in New Jersey.]
