CONDITION

The albums covers are stained and marked with fading and bubbling to the cloth, splits along spine.

Internally there is a dark burnt like stain along the top inner edges of pages that gets smaller on each successive page, and mostly disappears a third of the way into the book, it only just touches the top corners of a few of the photos

There are a few pages that have come loose from the album

It is very noticeable that pages have been removed from the end of the album,

All the contents are pictured, so condition and content can be seen

Despite the obvious signs of wear and removal of some pages this remains a fascinating and important record of the area in the late Victorian period

WITH SEVENTY-EIGHT MOSTLY LARGE FORMAT ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAPHS
