This photograph album of late-Victorian London features 12 beautiful albumen prints. It was published by the photographer James Valentine between 1890 and 1895. The prints are mounted on heavy card stock with gilt edges. Several of the prints are extraordinarily rich in detail--especially the images of Cheapside, the Tower of London, Fleet Street, and the Houses of Parliament. The binding of the album is tight, and the boards are solid. The cover is worn, and some of the prints display fading of the normal kind for albumen prints that are 130 years old.I have provided images of all of the pages of the album. The pages are connected to the spine of the book with fabric so that each page rests flat as your turn from one page to the next. The album measures 10 x 7 inches and each print measures 8 x 5 1/4 inches. There is a name inscribed on the inside of the first blank page: D.Y. McMullin. If you do a quick search, you will find a number of these prints by Valentine sold separately at relatively much higher prices. This is the entire, original album.
