Small, fat album with brown covers embossed in gold and black floral and star motif with elaborate gold locks in tact. The spine, which has "Photographs" stamped on it, and both covers, as well as the pages, are loose. The pages are gilded on the edges. On the second page is found "Album for Photographs, New York, F. Heppenheimer" with the address in tones of peach, gold, and white. The index p. is blank. There are 42 pp. with mostly carte-de-visites, but also some albumen prints, some tinted, and some drawings, all measuring approximately 2 1/2 inches by 3 1/2 inches in size. Photographs are of family groups (3), men (11 including 3 in Civil War uniforms), women (20), a dwarf woman (1), girls (5), boys (3, including 1 with a bicycle), couples (3, including one with the man in Civil War uniform), a child (1), a waterfall (1). Two of the photographs of girls are with dolls, there is also one alone with the dolls. These three photographs are clearly a set. There are drawings of women and children (7). There is also a drawing of Secretary Stanton. The only photographs identified are those of Civil War generals McDowell, Lander, and Barnes. Exposed backs of photographs show that they were taken in Cleveland and Cincinnati (Ohio), Minneapolis (Minn.), and many from Saginaw and East Saginaw (Mich.) by W. A. Armstrong, Armstrong and Rudd's Galley, and Wm. Roberts, respectively.
