Description
This collection comprises a photograph
album with 57 tipped-in black and white photographs documenting the building of the Zupp
family pool in Van Nuys, California. The photographs (each approximately 9 x 9 cm) and
accompanying handwritten captions document the process from start to finish, showing
numerous steps including the excavation and shaping of the grounds, installation of steel
rods, and plastering. The album, titled "Our Pool from Start to Finish," illustrates the
creation of a backyard pool in the 1950s in a working class Southern California
neighborhood.
