Beautiful German Victorian Celluloid Photo Album w/ Girl

Antiques : Photo Album : Victorian : Celluloid

 

This Victorian album is so charming having a creamy background with a portrait of a young girl wearing a hooded cape and holding a cluster of pansies. Her face is typical of those drawn in the day, innocent with large eyes, rosy cheeks and a feminine pout. Her portrait is framed in an embossed floral vine. The condition of the cover is amazing! The metal latch is in good working order. Most of the pages have a single opening for a 5 ½” x 4” picture. Some original cabinet photos are included. Many of which include children and are quite charming. A few pages in the back have 3 ¼” x 2” openings. Please see all of the pictures for a many views of this lovely album.

Condition: Front cover is in excellent condition showing some minimal crazing to the celluloid. Just a little wear to the corner of the celluloid by the binding. The binding and the corners are covered in cloth and a couple of the back edges and corners show minimal expected wear. The back cover does have some wear from being slid on a table but is still in overall good condition with no signs of major deterioration. The interior pages show staining and spotting mostly on the pages closer to the front and back. Some expected tears from photos going in and out. Overall, it is a lovely Victorian album with eight photos still intact.
