Description
Antique 19th Cen Photo Album and 4 Photos. There are 120 photos inside of the photo album. The portraits date from the 1850s to the 1860s. Women, children, and men are pictured in profile, looking directly at the camera, standing up, or seated. Some cards note that the negatives were preserved. These are carte de visites which were popular during that era. Spots, toning, and fading are visible on several photos. Some photos, particularly those of children, are retouched with blush on their cheeks. These photos are in a brown leather book with two hinges on the side. The edges of the book are gold painted. Included as well are 5 photos with 4 encased. There is a photo of a boy and a girl with them both seated. They are framed with an ornate brass frame and a partial case with the covering missing. A photograph of a young girl with a patterned skirt and a blouse that was retouched with pink. She is surrounded by an ornate frame. A photo case with two pictures inside of a young woman and another who is possibly her mother. They are wearing the same outfit with retouched cheeks. The pair was likely made either to show what the girl would look like older or to have a family album. It is hinged with thin leather and two snaps on the side to keep it shut. There is a CDV of a man holding a cap and wearing a Civil War outfit. Additionally there is a photo of a young girl posed next to a table with decorative sash.
