Caption title and 14 quatrains within an ornamental border. The last two stanzas are a tribute to Gen. Hiram Berry: Among those of the slain I must here tell Of brave Gen. Berry who always fought well And those who the history of the rebellion have read Have learned that at Gettysburg Hiram Berry was shot dead. A Major General was he as I will relate From away down east in the Pine Tree State And while the history of the rebellion is taught The name Hiram Berry will n'er be forgot.

9169" x 6 1/4" Victorian photo album full of 69 carte de visites. 20 leaves total/ 35 pages in use. All but 5 inserts contain photos. <br /> <br /> Of the handful of CDVs I pulled out from the page these locations were noted: Frankfurt Germany; Versailles France Liverpool U.K and the Grotte au Glacier a Grindelwald in 1871 where two men hold hands to keep steady along the ice. Of the CDVs pulled few were provided with credit to the photographer named: Henry Sampson A. Gabler and another attributed to Chris Krause in Berlin. There is plenty more to be seen if this album is pulled apart in full. <br /> <br /> CDVs are of sepia tone. Inserts measure 2 1/16" x 3 1/14" with decorative edge. The edge of each page is colored red with an embossed golden pattern. The cover exhibits wear and distress. A latch mechanism is only half intact.
