What Our Customers Say...

Description

Leather Binding, Original Source, Scarce

A very unique object, a personalised photo album from the Victorian era, bound in full morocco with gilt initials to the front board: 'H.D.C.' 

Containing sixty detached pages of embellished and richly decorated frames, mostly unused and ready for future memories. Three of the frames contain small portraits adhered to them, and one contains a pencilled drawing, dated 1846. 

To the rear of the photobook are two post cards from Dinan, France, undated, and adhered to the rear free-endpaper. 

A scarce, unique object.

Condition

In full morocco binding with gilt detailing to the boards and spine. Externally, smart, with some rubbing to the joints, spine, and extremities. A few marks to the boards. Two post cards adhered to the verso of the rear free-endpaper. Internally, pages are detached, as issued. Three small portraits adhered to three pages, and a amateur pencil drawing to one of the pages. Some pages contain a few small marks or stains, though many remain bright and clean.

Very Good
