Ca. 1890s
Eight cardstock mounts each ca. 30 x 25 cm (11 ¾ x 9 ¼ in). With 32 mounted albumen photographs each ca. 11.5 x 8.5 cm (4 ½ x 3 ¼ in). Most images with period printed captions on white paper labels attached to mounts (captions relate to up to four images). Mounts slightly waved and age-toned; a few photographs mildly faded, but overall a very good collection of interesting photos.
