MARGARET MOTTER Album (Black Cover) Single Images

Among the items in the Pine Mountain Settlement School Collections is a small bound album containing 35 pages and 65 images of early life at the School and in the surrounding community. The album belonged to Margaret Motter, but the images appear to be those of other photographers. Motter served as the central fund-raiser for the School in the late 1920s and early 1930s.

A larger Margaret Motter Album with a blue and white hand-woven cover contains additional photographs, many of which overlap with those found in the smaller album with black boards (covers).
