Hard back photograph album, half-bound with black watered fabric, black leather spine and corners with decorative gold embossing. Gilt edges to the text block. H. 24.5 x W. 19 cm
Each leaf is composed of a cardboard backboard overlaid with a thinner card mount on recto and verso, tacked down on the short edges, allowing photographs to be eased out from the long edge. Displays four photographs to an opening (2 to a page, each mount aperture sized W. 4 ¼ x 2 ½ inch).
Inscribed in black ink on the inside of the front cover 'A. J. B. Wace. Book D.'
Some foxing and cockling to the leaves thorughout. Top and bottom edges of the spine and corners of the cover boards bumped and fragile with some loss to the leather. The front board is starting to split from the spine binding.


2 loose photographs, of Troy, and 2 other loose photographs, which may also be of Troy (both featuring a gentleman lecturing an aseembled group of inetrested visitors), placed in polyester sleeves between front board and first leaf.


The photographic prints are a mix of monochrome, gelatin silver, quarter plate contact prints and cynaotype contact prints, with some fading to the former but otherwise in good condition.
