This stately presentation album begins with a number of views of Independence, Missouri. The first three show the city’s Grand Central Depot which served the Independence Air-Line, a railroad line that took travelers to Fairmont Park, at the city’s eastern limits. Opened in 1897 by railroad-builder Arthur E. Stilwell, Fairmont Park was Kansas City’s premier bathing beach and amusement park. The 50-acre recreation area offered Shakespearian stock, Swiss Bell Ringers, aerialists, stirring band music, giant dipper rides, zoo, 9-hole golf course, swimming, boating, horse-racing and horse shows. One interesting view shows a production of Gilbert and Sullivan’s “Mikado” and another shows Olivette, a comic opera composed by Edmond Audran.

This is followed by a number of photographs showing factories and other scenes of industry along the lines. These include the Kansas City Distilling Co., Monarch Vinegar Works, Second and Main Street, with a view of the Merchants’ Fruit and Produce Auction Co., an unidentified paper mill, the Ferd Heim Brewing Co., American Biscuit and Manufacturing Co., Fourth Street viaduct, packing houses along the river, Ohio Avenue bridge, George Fowler, Armour Packing Co., Riverside Iron Works, Indian Ridge Milling Co., Kansas City Stockyards, Schwarzschild and Sulzberger Packing Co., Western Manufacturing Co., Kansas City Consolidated Smelting and Refining Co., Kansas City Car and Foundry Co.,

The album concludes with four Arkansas scenes, including one poetically titled “Where the Woodbine Turneth” and another showing Sulfur Springs, AK.

EJ Davidson was a noted Kansas City commercial photographer, though the present copy is the only known example of this particular work.
