END OF PHOTOS . NOTE ON PHOTOS POSTED TO OUR WEBSITE: Please review photos posted to our website. . Please note some left margins of photos posted to our website show a reflection or discoloration due to the hinged part of the album which held that side of the images less than flat against our scanner. The images DO NOT actually have any discoloration or issues this is merely a function of digital imaging. All images are vivid clear and without any discoloration whatsoever. This phenomenon mostly affects odd number photos such as illus07.jpg and a few others on the left margin only. . CONDITION: The album is in very excellent condition with a mended spine now stable & solid. . The pages are the typical thick black paper with 3 gilt edges all tied at the spine with blue cotton string. Photographs are held firm by the typical period "Nuace" red gummed corners contemporary of the 1920-30's. All photos are therefore not laid down but inserted into the corner mountings. Photos are mounted on both sides of the pages. . The photos are in excellent condition and have been nicely protected since the 1920-30's in a nice album. The images are clear professionally printed on unmarked American Kodak glossy photographic paper. . Some photos have pencil notations on the verso . The typed captions are tipped to the lower back side of each photo. These greatly to the identification activities or scenes photographed. . Color photos are posted to our website. . REFERENCES: .
