The carte de visite portraits here were removed from a deteriorating period album that was inserted between custom 20th century boards. The album has been retained with its covers should restoration be desired.

Light stains and foxing to the leaves; wear to boards, the spine with heavy losses to its gilt panel; the images clear with no apparent condition concerns.
