Katherine Fay Hunt’s Early Photo Album, “Jones Family,” Page 31, c 1925

Author: Katherine Fay Hunt

Year: 1925

This page from Katherine Fay Ports’ photo album appears to date from her Camas High School years, around 1925. It is notable for its careful handmade design: each figure was cut out by hand, arranged on black album paper, and outlined in white. The page was likely assembled while Katherine was living with her family in the Roffler House in Camas. Handwritten notes, pairings, and small pasted cartoon figures preserve something of the private humor and social life of her circle, even where the full meaning is now lost.
