Jay Cooke Family Collection
Description: This photograph displays a collage of informal photographs possibly taken by Reverend Henry Cooke (1857-1915), son of the prominent American banker and financier Jay Cooke (1821-1905). Henry E. Cooke acted as his family's historian and photographer. He created or compiled poetry, sketches, humorous anecdotes, and several thousand photographs that documented three generations of the Cooke family. At least one of the photographs was taken in a setting that resembles one in another photograph in this collection. That photograph shows a group picnic on Rattlesnake Island (Lake Erie Islands, Ohio). Rattlesnake Island was a favorite day-trip destination of the Jay Cooke family, which owned a summer home on neighboring Gibraltar Island. View on Ohio Memory.
