Victorian Photograph Albums

A ‘Flowers of the Forest’ lithographic album. Revel in three particularly fine gentlemen, dandies all, from Saaz, Antibes and Belgrade (towards the back), some stripy socks and the romance of names with Julie Martini of Cilli,  Apolona A. Hazholyan of Varna, Hedvig Rosendahls of Stockholm and Emil Tiger of Nantes.

Another aesthetic album this time with wood-effect pages containing some Canadian and American swells (one by the wonderfully-named Elmer Chickering) and three different portraits of the same man by Dupont of Brussels, Belgium.

A brown leather lucky four-leaf clover album. Travel to Johanngeorgenstadt, Chillicothe, Cilli and Nanaimo – or at least find out where in the world they are – and marvel at the photography of The Misses Hattersley from the aptly-named village of Longsight, England (now consumed into Manchester).

A Bouquet of the Seasons album with military photographs by wonderfully-named photographers such as Van Ingen of India (also renowned for taxidermy), Emil Eichacker of St. Johann, Landouzy of Calais and Castro Fotografo of Casablanca.

An unusual brushed leather album with a unique double-sewn binding. Travel with it from Amsterdam to Livorno, Paris to Motala, Tampa to Brisbane, Tunbridge Wells to Brno…

A large art nouveau German leather album decorated with dragonflies and lilies and containing an unmissable boudoir cabinet photograph of a jockey from Corfu. Also some trick photography by Max Platz of Chicago.
