Album 50

From Cannes, a wood and leather album hand-painted with lilies. Highlights include portraits by three different Brisbane photographers and some magnificent endpapers.

 

Album 22

A badly faded leather album with decorative lithographic pages. An early addition to the museum containing many Americans – obviously bought in the days before US mail became prohibitively expensive!

 

Album 19

An unusually plain brown leather album. Contains a man from Muscatine, Iowa posing as a Greek statue, an excellent spread of hats (bowler, boater and top), and a line-up of cigarette smoking Londoners.

 

Album 97

A pristine black leather album with gilded pages and a silver clasp. I particularly like the checked jacket worn by a sitter for the famous Bourne & Shepherd studio in Simla, India.

 

Album 95

An unusual and delightful ‘half-moon’ brown leather carte de visite album. Mostly German portraits.

 

Album 101

An early embossed leather carte de visite album. Includes a Lieutenant in Leek, with a swagger stick tucked under his arm, and a supremely elegant pair from Paris and Hamburg.
