1880. Hardcover. Near Fine. Large, heavy oblong folio. Measuring 18" x 12.25". Half morocco and cloth with "Photographs" in gilt on spine. An exhaustive album with 170 tipped-in photographs. Large images, usually one or two to the page. An extensive album of photographs of art works including the Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo, from European museums. Additionally, perhaps a third of the images are of Switzerland (and a small number in Northern Italy, including a photo of Bologna's Two Towers) with several majestic mountain scenes. Many are stock images, some with production marks. All, or very near all, images are captioned in ink. Edgewear at the extremities, two facing images have light damage from adhering to each other at one point, very good or better. A standard, if massive, album of art and Swiss scenery.
