CONDITION: The album pages are a bit brittle and have been mended in the past with white cloth tape and thin Japanese Washi paper addressing small closed tears nicks and the like. . By and large each page is now firm and solid but remains in rather 'delicate' condition and should be handled with care. The other option is remove the photographs and put in a more substantial paged album using 'corners' to mount each photograph. . . unknown
