Cloth on spine slightly worn. Internally clean. Each image neatly labeled in manuscript. Very good. Photo album produced by D. Appleton & Co. in New York. This album has been filled with carte de visite-size images of royals of the period, including the Tsar of Russia, Queen Victoria, Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, the Pope, Napoleon III, Giuseppe Garibaldi (two images), and some leading British politicians. A nice album, distinctly displaying Victorian-era middle-class sensibilities.
