An album leaf with 18 carte de visite albumen photographs. 9 mounted on each side. The photos were mounted directly on the album leaf. They were not mounted on cardboard before.
All photos, I was unable to find to be reproduced anywhere. Therefore, it is impossible to identify the photographer. Style of photos allows a dating to the middle of the 19th century (1860 – 1870 ?).
Size of Photos: Circa 8.5 x 5.5 cm; most of the photos have still good contrast and show no or only little browning tone. Very few with stains.
