Abstract

This album is made up entirely of photographs produced by A. M. Prentiss. In addition, the photos are only from his series of larger images, those being 8 x 10 inches in size. None of his smaller series of prints are found in this album. Therefore, even though the numbers on the photos themselves do not contain the letter “P” on them, that designation has been added due to the reasons explained earlier in this work.
