Undated and unattributed 19th century accordion style souvenir photographic album, issued c. 1865-80, likely 1870's. With 12 charming original albumen photographs of the city, including panoramic views, important buildings, zoological gardens, and monuments. Images remain quite clean, each is titled below in German. Original cloth attaches the images to each other on the reverse.
Original pinkish colored embossed cloth folder is clean, with gilt stamped title on front board. Well preserved, nice, and clearly not common. Experience handling 19th century albumen city albums has taught us that the photos they contain are very often variants to albums which might at first glance appear to be identical, since new negatives were continually being integrated into the printing/ production process of the publisher.
Book measures c. 4 1/4" H x 2 3/4". When opened, the run of 12 photos is 31 1/2" long.
