Vintage 1910s Family Dog Snapshot Photo Album 4.5x5.5 Inches Sepia Gelatin 9 Photos Orig
Original vintage small sepia-toned gelatin-silver photograph album dating to the early 1910s, assembled on gray cardboard scrapbook pages bound together with a cord tie.
The cover mount features a street or trackside scene with several well-dressed men in overcoats and bowler hats and two women in large decorative hats and long dresses, posed outdoors with telegraph poles, houses, and low buildings in the background.
Inside pages hold additional mounted snapshots including a young woman seated in a rowboat, a family group portrait on a slatted garden bench, adults standing or strolling on a sidewalk, a yard view with pets in the grass, and several images of children and a collie-type dog near a tent or within a residential neighborhood setting.
Printed in warm sepia tones on photographic paper and affixed to gray scrapbook leaves of heavy paper and cardboard stock, this one-of-a-kind album holds nine original gelatin-silver prints documenting domestic and leisure scenes from an American family around 1910, and any brass display stand or other props visible in the listing images are used solely for scale and presentation and are not included.
Actual Measurements: Scrapbook pages approximately 4.5 in x 5.5 in; 9 photos of various sizes.
Condition: Original vintage small sepia gelatin-silver snapshot photo album with typical handling and storage wear from age and use. Mounted photographs show overall age toning, scattered fine surface specks, light soiling, and occasional handling impressions; the front cover image has a pronounced diagonal crease and small stain at the upper right, a few surface scuffs, and minor edge wear but remains firmly adhered to the mount. Several interior snapshots display small surface scratches, spots, and localized emulsion loss, most notably in the upper left of the woman-in-boat view and near the lower right of the man-in-boat image, along with light edge softening, minor corner bends, and some faint silvering and overall fading while the images remain clear. Gray cardstock pages exhibit wear along the edges and at the punched binding holes, with small chips, roughness, and a frayed cord tie, yet the pages stay connected and support all nine photographs.
