Photograph album, c. 1870. Small leatherbound album containing mainly cartes de visite photos of the Tansley family and ancestors. Thick card pages with slots through which the photos are slotted into position, gilt edges, gilt clasp trimmed with leather. Title page printed lithographically in pink and gold. Inscribed on flyleaf is ?Elizabeth Tansley from her affectionate Aunt F. Fry March 12 1912? - album probably dates from much earlier than this, however, since cartes de visite had gone out of fashion by 1912. Album probably dates from c. 1870. Many photos identified with pencil notes beneath. None appears to be taken by local photographers. Clasp broken. Title page loose.
