Distinctive Features:
Each window mount is formed of a two-tone card and paper cut-out: the dark brown paper of the album is laid over a cream-coloured mounting card, which forms a c. 2-4 mm frame around each image.
Inscriptions:
Brief handwritten captions in English, including dates, accompany each print.
In pencil a consecutive numbering system (1–48) is written alongside each image, usually near the lower right corner of the image.
An alternative image sequence (a–b only, sequence repeats on each page) is indicated in pencil near the upper left corner of each image. This has been crossed out, also in pencil.
Pagination – since crossed out – is indicated in the upper right or left corner of each page in pencil.
Labels:
A gold, stamped design appears in the lower right corner of the front cover of the album with a sun-like symbol and the words ‘PHOTO~ GRAPHS’
