In July 1888, a group of young people from Philadelphia set off for a holiday in Maine, destination Mount Desert Island. This privately published travel journal recounts with humor their adventures during those days of fun and discovery. This volume belongs to Sarah Carter and contains 36 sepia photographs. The entire journal (cover image) as well as the individual photographs have been scanned. From the Preface: "As the summer of 1888 drew near, some young friends put their heads together to arrange a pleasant trip, and realizing that it is not good for man (and consequently woman) to be alone, they decided to take pity on a few of the sons of Adam, of George Fox persuasion, inviting them to join in an excursion to Mt. Desert; for which said sons of Adam desire to express their true and lasting gratitude." From the estate of John Welsh Drayton and Cynthia Whitney Drayton. Donated to the Library by Mr. Whitney Drayton.

One of 9 photographs of the Northeast Harbor area taken in the 1880's during encampments by the Champlain Society. "Known today as Pond Hill, route 3/198 500 yards south of the Gate House. The date is questionable because the photo shows the original Asticou Inn which was not built until after 1881." Tom Eliot Digital image from Jeff Dobbs Productions.

One of 9 photographs of the Northeast Harbor area taken in the 1880's during encampments by the Champlain Society. "This picture was taken from the roadway before the road was cut down into the hillside, thus the camera height above the water would place today's photographer about six feet in the air." Tom Eliot
