A custom box with photograph inset houses a photo album with hand beaded cover and scroll book in glass tube. This piece was created using a hand beaded wallet made in the 1940’s by a Denver area Camp Fire Girl (identity unknown) as the cover for a photo album. The photos in the album are digital reproductions of photographs taken by Ruth Wheeler of her Camp Fire Girls in 1948. The text and illustrations on the box interior and in the scroll give guidelines and instructions for earning the Torch Bearer Craftsman honor in Camp Craft.
Text and illustrations from Book of the Camp Fire Girls, © 1958 by Camp Fire Girls, Inc. from Photographs from original black and white reversal film transparancies taken in 1949 by Ruth Wheeler.
