Photograph album from the second half of the 19th century. The album is leather with gilt engravings, perhaps with gold thread. The pages are of thick cardboard with gilt edges. This album is composed of 80 albumin photographs mounted on cardboard as was done at the time, since the paper was very thin and the albumin development tended to roll up, so it was mounted on thick cardboard and on the back appeared the data of the photographic studio that made it. The photographic mounts are made by various photographic studios of the time.
Presents a good state of preservation, as the photos retain the perfect sharpness and brightness for the years they have, we know that the developed by the albumin method, the photos over the years yellowed and lost sharpness with exposure to light.
