Description

This is a large portrait format leather bound album containing 149 albumen photographs of architectural and landscape interest from England, Wales and Scotland compiled between 1887 and 1895. The spine and covers have gilded detailing, and the edges of the pages are gilded. The photographs are laid down to card leaves with many of the photographs having pencil inscriptions giving the location and date. Each page contains between on and six photographs. There are a few blank pages at the back.

Locations include Lichfield, Southwold, Cromer, New Forest, Worth, Swanage, Dorset, Corfe Castle, Winchester, Blickling, Barmouth, Wales, Snowdon, Harlech Castle, Cader Idris, Whitby Abbey, Durham, Christchurch, Lake District, Rye, Pevensey, Scotland, Braemar, St Andrews, Stonehenge, Salisbury, Lundy Island, Minehead and Cleve Abbey. There is a good mix of architectural and landscape interest from different parts of Great Britain.

Dimensions: 38 x 30 cm (15" x 12") 5.5 cm (2 1/4") thick.

Condition: The album is in good condition. The leather bound cover has split along the front hinge and the corners are a little bumped. The first few pages are discoloured with some foxing though this rarely effects any of the photographs on those pages. The card leaves are nice and flat.

Postage & Packing: £10 within the UK. Please contact us for the postal cost if you live overseas.
