[MENIER (Family) - Photographs - Yachting]. Album containing 88 small vintage photographic prints (8 × 11 cm as displayed). Undated [late 19th–early 20th century]. Quarto, green embossed percaline. An interesting album of photographs from the Menier family, combining memories of cruises in the eastern Mediterranean with scenes from private life during the Belle Époque. The collection includes numerous views of ports, coastal landscapes, sailboats, and small craft, as well as several photographs of Greek archaeological sites, notably in Athens, and presumably of the Corinth Canal. Several views depict a major military parade in front of a large crowd. In addition to these travel memories are numerous family scenes: gatherings and lunches, donkey rides, candid portraits, terraces and resort gardens, offering a vivid account of the leisure activities and private life of a large family from the French industrial bourgeoisie at the turn of the 20th century.
