The "Buffalo" Album

by In Memoriam: Wystan

Discovered at a rummage sale in Buffalo, New York, an old album of photos collected by an unidentified University of Michigan student (1923-25) yielded a bunch of interesting (although technically deficient) images. The album's finder sold it (to me) in an eBay auction.
